How long to heat?

[97rs4life]

I have a bottle heater, and I have turned it on to get my PSI up and all, but it seems to take forever for the PSI to get up, it stays at 600 for quite some time.

How long does it usually take heaters to get the bottle up to a nice pressure?

I think I waited like 5-10 minutes for mine and it didn't get over 600 PSI. Maybe I have something wrong, but the heater is working becuase I feel it and it is kind of hot. Any help would be appreciated.

When my bottle is almost empty it sits around 600 PSI hwo much is in your bottle?

It takes a while, but it should at least move!

To get a bottle heated through and through, not just on the outside, it could take hours. That's why so many people have great pressure at the start of a run, and their MPH is terrible because their pressure falls off so fast. If the bottle was warm all the way through, it would help MPH. Same goes for a dyno pull, you can see the power falling off on the top end when the bottle is not warmed correctly.

Turn the bottle heater on, while going to the track. Give it like 30-45 minutes to warm up at least if not an hour or two..

I turn my bottle heaters on for the 45-60 minute drive down to the track.

then I flip it on and off before making passes.

It also gets turned on for making passes and the return road back to the staging lanes.

5-10 min, not enough, really.
