I believe it is, Not really sure though. Only messed with it once.

Here is an overview of the MSDS sheet for Nitrous Oxide, CAS # 10024-97-2.

"Nitrous Oxide CAS#: 10024-97-2

Emergency Overview
Colorless gas; slight sweet odor. Inhalation of small amounts causes euphoria. Higher levels cause drowsiness, incoordination and unconsciousness. Contact with the compressed gas can cause frostbite. May present a reproductive hazard in women. "

EDIT:

Just to add, that is an MSDS sheet for Nitrous Oxide -- automotive nitrous has Sulpher Dioxide added so it probably smells like sulpher.

Thanks guys.. the reason I'm asking is because I accidentally left the bottle open and the nitrous emptied out. Does anyone know where the nitrous goes when that happens?? Does it just evaporate into the nitrous line and into the passenger's compartment from underneath the bottle opener somehow??

Light a match and find out ;)

I'm still sort of a newbie, so this may be bum advice, but maybe you have a leak in the system somewhere?

Don't worry about it.
It just evaporates into the air.
Light a match? I would have no problem walking up to a fire and opening up my nitrous bottle and aiming the nitrous cloud straight onto it.
It is an oxidizer, it supports combustion but does not promote it.
It is true there is a slight sulfer odor.

Ok, Thanks.. I feel better now [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nitros. :D

Yeah it stinks, kind of a rotten egg smell. I would definately say you gotta leak though.

**slacker69** · 03-10-2002, 03:58 AM

So what happens if u take direct hits of it. Friends do it all the time

**Shirl** · 03-10-2002, 10:00 AM

The sulfer is added for that reason. The automotive grade is suppose to make you sick if you try to sniff it :D
