Nitrous Storage

[LTb1ow]

I am getting my bottle soon and was wondering how you guys that spray store your bottles when not racing?

My parents have seen/heard of the fast and the furious nonsense about nitrous blowing up in a cloud of green flames, so any good tips for convincing them otherwise?

[sweetbmxrider]

get new parents

[LS1ow]

put it in a room and throw a sign on the door that says "CAWSHUN! NAWZ YO! "

[NJ346]

leave it with me?:lol:

Remind them that Nitrous Oxide is not flammable.

[MyFirstZ]

and there is our winner ! ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

[NastyEllEssWon]

yeah thats a good bit of info to know

[Mike]

its not flammable at room temperature. that is different from not being flammable

[sweetbmxrider]

he also complained that if it leaks he will die....from lack of oxygen....

[LTb1ow]

Right, so just leaving it in a cool shady place is good to go?

[LTb1ow]

he also complained that if it leaks he will die....from lack of oxygen....

You do know that N20 is heavier than air correct? If you dump it in a room it will displace the air and you will die.

[Mike]

if the room is anything bigger than a phone booth you will be fine

[sweetbmxrider]

huzzah!!! get a carbon monoxide detector cept a nitrous plus detector....:mrgreen:

[Formula_Ltx]

Nitrous has more oxygen then the air u breath, thats y it makes more power. so he wont die from lack of oxygen, but breathing it is not good lol

[MyFirstZ]

take out your spare tire, place it in there and make a weep hole for the oxygen to sink down and evacute itself through.

n20 brakes down during the combustion cycle and releases oxygen allowing you to burn more fuel during combustion the nitrogen just acts as an intercooling effect.

But that write-up that you have actually is medical grade n20. our n20 also has sulfur dioxide in it.

Just get something to monitor bottle pressure

[LTb1ow]

In the summer?

I like my trunk in one piece...

[Blackbirdws6]

Just keep the bottle somewhere cool and your good to go.

That rules out his car :rofl:

[MyFirstZ]

a bottle isnt going to explode. They will leak before the explode. You are supposed to keep a bottle above room temperature anyway

[Mike]

this is true, the "burst disk" will burst and the bottle will purge itself.....just keep it in a corner or in the closet when its not in the car, it doesnt need to be cool but you should attempt to not put it somewhere were the sun will bake it half the day...even for the simple fact that heating and cooling will mess with bottle pressure

[MyFirstZ]

you want your bottle to be around 1000 PSI. Thank you for the name couldnt think of the burst disk has a pressure rating somewhere around 1100psi. . . and if people are using bottle warmers at tracks during the summer to get there high 9oo PSI i think you will be fine keeping it in the trunk without one on it.

i should of said you want it around that pressure during use.

I like to share every now and again. I can't just keep it amongst the local people!

[MyFirstZ]

There honeslty is very little to worry about with nitrous. If it was so dangerous it wouldnt be so readily available.

Just show them this thread and if they have any other questions just keep asking. If it makes them feel better empty the bottle before you store it everytime. This way pressures will never be reached to burst and leak. If they think having a n20 bottle in the house tell them about how a house got moved 4 feet off the foundation because two brother were using carb cleaner in the basement with no ventilation and ignited (believed to be because of the pilot light). And that product comes in a little can you can pick up everywhere. Everything has its dangers. Prboably more **** in the kitchen you should worry about then a n20 bottle that is built to prevent catostrophic failure

ahahhah

you sure its 1100psi?

[Formula_Ltx]

In a car wit a hatch ur suppose to have a blow down tube, in case the pressure disk pops, so it dosent fill the passenger cabin, it releases out side the car.

[sweetbmxrider]

yeah he has one, talkin about what to do with the bottle when its out of the car....

[Formula_Ltx]

Gotcha

1100psi? I heat my bottle to 1500psi regularly and it never popped the disk. Burst disks are typically designed to burst at 2500-3000psi. It'd be really tough to get a bottle that high unless it was overfilled and/or intentionally overheated.

The bottles themselves are probably rated to safely withstand 3500+psi of pressure.

[sweetbmxrider]

thats what i thought, thanks slow z

[MyFirstZ]

did not know it was that high wow. So i stand corrected.

Good read.

[MyFirstZ]

i nailed alot of that from what i remembered about nitrous. 8] deff worth the read though

[Teds89IROC]

whatever you do, don't yell "NAWWWSS" when around the bottles, should be fine.

[2kblackgtp]

store it in the shed if you have one, I'd wrap in in a blanket or towel in case dad knocks into it while moving his wheelbarrow or whatever else might be in there.

and FYI, nitrous for cars has some sort of chemical in it that will make you sick and start puking, you'll probably run out of the room vomitting before you breath in enough nitrous to be of any real detriment

[Ispooledurmom]

Nitrous has more oxygen then the air u breath, thats y it makes more power. so he wont die from lack of oxygen, but breathing it is not good lol
Look who finally got on the board lol
But yea matt is right you wont die from breathing it for a short period of time...trust me:drool:

They add sulphur to it.

[sweetbmxrider]

yeah its actually nitrous plus

[LTb1ow]

Suppose I could find a dentist to fill mine....:)

[Jam]

tell you rents that whip cream has nitrous oxide in it and they store it in their refrigerator :rofl:

[sweetbmxrider]

hahaha ownage
