Re: NOS 5175 kit bottle nut adapter part#....

Most bottle nuts are pretty universal. The NX ones are kind of weird (2 pieces), regular bottle nuts will not work on NX bottles. Of the two you listed, I would guess that the -4AN nut is what you need (assuming your bottle is NOT a NX bottle). It appears that your feed line is a #4.

Edit: I just read your whole post. Most filling stations use a #4 adapter, but in any case, you shouldn't need any bottle nut on it to have it filled; the filler should have whatever size bottle nut is needed to fit their system on hand.

97rs4life-->sent you a PM.

Skinny-->Yeah, sometimes the two places around here do. It really matters on who is working. If it's the guys that run nitrous themselves, they usually can fill it up without the nut. But, I have ran into the problem a couple of times, that either place could not fill it, because I didn't have the nut adapter and the guy that usually fills the tank and runs nitrous themselves was not there at the shop. :( So, I always have it on hand when I go now :)

Re: NOS 5175 kit bottle nut adapter part#....

I forgot the adapter on one of my bottles before to go and fill it, they didn't have there own to fill it with but I lucked out someone else came in to fill theirs and they just used that one to fill mine too, so some places don't have the accessories to fill bottles, this was at Checker also, so it surprised me, didn't even havea extra one on the shelf. $15 is a very good price for a new one shipped, ebay they sell for alot more. I still have alot of nitrous parts that didn't sell , so I might use the nitrous with the turbo who knows.LOL

Re: NOS 5175 kit bottle nut adapter part#....

man how do you have all those fittings connected with no leaks lol, i tried running nitrous and i was having leaks on every fitting it was so frustrating

also, arent the bottles supposed to be at an angle, not standing straight up when using them?

Re: NOS 5175 kit bottle nut adapter part#....

Fondle-->I used some white sealant that I used on the T hook up, for the fuel pressure gauge. I cannot think of the name of the stuff right off, I would need to go to the building and look. But, it did a great job for the T for the fuel, and it also did a great job on the nitrous. However, I think Teflon tape is suppose to be the better stuff do use for nitrous fittings if I'm not mistaking. I think I remember reading that some where. You may want to check with someone else on here to see if I'm correct. I just used the white sealant because I didn't have anything else at the time. I do have one fine pin hole leak up front, which I cannot get stopped. You can barley here it when the lines are full, and I have tried everything but the Teflon tape to stop it. But, it doesn't bother me much, since I keep the nitrous turned off always, unless I'm at the track or testing it, plus that's another great reason I have the remote switch, so I can shot the nitrous off after I use it at the track, to keep the pressure down on the lines, so not as much will leak out. It's not a bad leak though, after I finish running at the drags and turn all the nitrous stuff off, it takes a good hour and a 1/2 to 2hours before the nitrous pressure is at zero in the line.

As for the bottle standing up :) From what I have read and was gave advise on, as long as the tube that runs down the bottle is pointing to the rear of the car, your ok, so with how I have mine set, the tube is pointing at the rear of the car :) I have changed some of the setup of the nitrous system, like I no longer use zip ties, and I put some foam stuff around the spare tire hook up, because it was digging into my bottle, and on the front of the car I removed the 90 degree elbow, because I could not get that thing to stop leaking. Plus I have a HD camera now, so I can get some better looking pics :D

ssms5411--> Nitrous plus a turbo would be swwwweeeetttt :burn:

Re: NOS 5175 kit bottle nut adapter part#....

Never use Teflon tape on fuel or nitrous fittings! Use Teflon paste. It will not get stuck in the solenoids or injectors and cause problems like the tape will.

Anybody ever read the direction that come with there nitrous systems?

**Guardiannknight** · 09-21-2009, 06:25 PM

Re: NOS 5175 kit bottle nut adapter part#....

I knew it was Teflon something :) Yeah, I knew that the Teflon tape was a bad idea on fuel, just remember seeing the word Teflon some where for nitrous fittings :P I forget what I used, but I bought it for the T for the fuel pressure hook up, and ended up using it on my nitrous system, worked great so far :) I did read the directions on the nitrous system by the way, just been a couple years since the install, Teflon is all I remember, that's why I told him to check with others on the board ;)

I stand corrected. I received a NX bottle today (with my new nitrous kit :banana: ) and I see that REGULAR BOTTLE NUTS WILL NOT WORK WITH NX BOTTLES.

I corrected my original post.
