this was a bad thing that happened to me but than god my car didn't blow up. ok well my bottle heaters wasn't working for some reason. we ended fixing the problem and then the therostat wouldn't work. so pumm3l(shaun) just cut if off and took it in the house to re-sodder it. not knowing that he left the bottle heater on [img]graemlins/twak.gif[/img] . ( now keep in mind that i took my bottle in my house cause it was 98 out side) so he sat the heater down and it was leaning up against upper back part of my back seat) and my custom box cover pressed them together. i go in my car the next day. everything was fixed but there was this really bad smell in my car. i just tought that is way my oil leak. i went to put the bottle in my car the next day and there is now a big hole in my back seat and my carpet on upper deck back window is all brown. i'll take pics and post them. BE CAREFUL

yikes that sucks, they def. get hot though -
yup..my bottle bottle heater doesnt have any thermostats..so i can get the psi as high as i want..so i have to watch it..and it can only be on with the key in the run position (you should wire it through an ignition wire) [img]smile.gif[/img]<b>12 SECOND DUAL STAGE DRY NITROUS POWERED 98 A4 V6 CAMARO<br /><a href=\"http://www.mysickcamaro.50megs.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.MySickCamaro.50megs.com</a><br />Best ET: 12.82@103<br />Best MPH: 104.7<br />Best 60\': 1.75 - Stock TC</b><br /> </font><blockquote><font size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">quote:</font><hr /><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Originally posted by Shodown:<br /><strong>1DV6 runs 12\'s...enough said. </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Comment

i have the system where it turns off at 1100 psi. the only reason why i got that hot was because we took the thermostat off and the 1100 psi switch wasn't hooked up yet. we hooked it up later that day.WAWA-A-HOLIC

no I didn't leave the heater on while I went in the house, the switch is wired to a ignition controlled source so it can't turn on unless the car is on. I was testing the wires for power with my continuity tester and I guess I didn't think that it would get that hot as to melt the carpet on the back of the seat =\. But anyway that's what happened. The themostat wasn't working as well as we wanted it to so we bought a pressure controlled switch which will trip the relay once the pressure hits 1100 psi.Comment

Gotta be careful!
My warmer's have NO temp sensors.... but I have lights/ switches to turn them on.... and I'm used to the set up.
Maybe now you should get blow down tubes?Race car - gone but not forgotten - 1997 firebird V6

Yea we have a blow down tube, I have to figure out how we're gonna vent the nitrous out of the car because she wanted the bottle behind the seat in the hatch. We have one of these:

the location where she has her bottle I'm relucted to drill near because the fuel tank is right underneath. I think she said she saw some drain holes near that area though so we'll have to take a look againComment
