That story right there kinda makes me wonder. What the heck happened that it blew up. Id be kinda worried having that in my car and getting into an accident or something. I'm still gonna do it just gets the gears in my head going. On a side note what the hell is up with the Mis-spellings.

i dunno, but nitrous isnt as Unsafe as it is made out to be, obvious the bottle was over filled and exploded, and had a bad rupturedisk that didnt let go whent he bottle got to full

Notice how they did not go into details?
Were they heating the bigger bottle with a torch?
Did the safety disc rupture first like it is designed?

I'd really want some more info on this to see if it is operators fault or mechanical.

I think misterjuice has gone out to Camaro Heaven and it is just an old crusty barn full with f body parts.

Sorry to hear about that though

Reminds me of the time when some guy disconnected his safety valve and left his bottle heater on. Blew up his whole garage. Nos is safe if you aren't stupid.

I don't trust ignorant people who try to talk like they know something.

Nitrous needs to be regulated. "I don't recommend no one having it installed in their vehicle unless it is done by someone who knows how to install it," he says.<hr></blockquote>

Notice the nice double-negative?Also nitrous should not be regulated,it is not dangerous.The bottle exploded when he was filling it,not using it.Any compressed air will do the same thing.I scuba dive and you can't fill the air tanks any faster than 3000 PSI in 15 minutes.If you do, then BOOM!I did notice that they spelled TF&TF right though :rolleyes: The only reason this story is big is because of the street racing scene.

Man that article just pissed me off. I wrote them an e-mail not that they will read it. Did you notice the reference to the fast and the furious, where they claim that the mix of n2o and air is what gives the cars their power. Thats good to know, now when I put my supercharger and nitrous kit on my car I can just dissconnect the fuel lines since I'll have nitrous instead of fuel.
