          Throw an aerosol can into a flame and what does it do? EXPLODE

          When you leave a bottle warmer on constantly and the nitrous inside reaches too high a pressure it EXPLODES

          A bomb is usually some type of explosive device with a outer casing thats designed to do some type of damage. Sound like a nitrous tank could do that type of damage if something made it explode? ;)

            THis is very highly unlikly to happen for these reasons

            1. Left Bottle warmer on for long period of time. (IDIOT)

            2. BOttle had a malfunctioning cap. (THIS IS NOT LIKELY TO HAPPEN)

            3. For both #1 and #2 to happen at the same time. Almost impossible.

              Here is what happened!!
              He removed the thermostat for the bottle warmer and left it on. Normally the thermo would shut it off.
              Also normally the pressure disc would release at 1800+ psi, I dunno exact psi, well it did not.

              The cylinder ruptured.
              Nitrous is not flammable.
              It is an oxidized, it supports combustion but does not promote it

                  In TF&F the flames would have broke the bottle. If the cap worked, it wouln't matter because it would just spray into the fire!

                    Yes, nitrous does not burn green

                    Actually the flames would not break the bottle, they would heat it up, the psi would rupture the relief disc and if it was set up correctly all the nitorus would go out the blow down tube.
                    If it did not have a blow down tube and it sprayed into a car fully engulfed in fire it would probably put it out. Nitrous is an oxidizer
