Is it safe to have a nitro bottle next to the engine?

TIMSPEED · 07-21-2003, 03:48 PM

Is that a 2bbl carb?!?

gldevall · 07-21-2003, 03:52 PM

Sure it is...if that's a ricer!

boataddict26 · 07-21-2003, 05:18 PM

I sure know I wouldnt drive any where with it like that!!

Maybe it is a show truck and it is not used?

87 STEPPER · 07-21-2003, 06:27 PM

HELL NO!!

You would never get it thru tech inspection to drag race on any track.

lofat · 07-21-2003, 08:57 PM

just thinking about that is scary

*shudders*

Nvbowtie · 07-21-2003, 09:03 PM

Damnnnnn

Lets see here,

thats a real nice high pressure canister holding x amount of flammable gas+high heat=convertable just waiting to happen

77bowtie · 07-21-2003, 09:09 PM

Your not parking anywhere near an airport like that! Call the bomb squad!

Just to let everyone know nitrous is a non flammable gas it just supports combustion.

But a high pressure cylinder in an engine compartment is still very unsafe no matter how you look at it!

bigblock73 · 07-21-2003, 10:49 PM

Yeah it is safe...a pretty safe bet it'll get you in the hospital sooner or later!

87 stepper beat me to it on the non flammeable part. Also unless you own a import with a 4' wing and stickers plastered all over it, its called nitrous not nitro :p

I was in a hurry to post it but didn't want to suffer the wrath of the board by calling it NOS.

ocbaud · 07-22-2003, 01:02 AM

instead of "damn, my headers burned through my spark plug wires!"

its

"damn, my headers burned a hole in my nos plumbing"

Opps, forgot that ! (was thinking O2) I should have caught that since I pay big bucks to inhale it at the dentist

O2 gas would be better, except you need a much thicker tank to get it to liquify,

But a nasty

if something goes south.

blazer-k5 · 07-22-2003, 12:57 PM

All i know is i would'nt do that

MylilBowTie · 07-22-2003, 03:49 PM

The breather on the carb knows whats up look at it looking away just waiting for something to happen. lol

79BIG10 · 07-22-2003, 04:25 PM

I'm first in line after the BOOM happens for parts!!

gchemist · 07-22-2003, 11:06 PM

Notice it said the NOS kit is unused.

navybear70 · 07-23-2003, 01:19 AM
