Hey everyone,
I was looking around the net and found this site. This might make you think twice about hooking up nitrous or even your current system...check it out.

I have a feeling this guy blew up his max on purpose.. could be wrong but I doubt this type of thing would happen to one of us unless we REALLY screw up the install.

I remember talking to this Guy last year..

That was something that like "never" happens. He had a bottle warmer on the bottle at the track. Forgot to turn it off when he got home and went to bed. The pressure release valve malfuntioned,?< and the bottle got up to like almost 3000psi, than BOOM.. So I would not let that scare you. Do you fly? or drive? I bet you dont race on the road either. All these things can go very bad, but that was a "1 IN A MILLION" THING. Please do not think I am trying to put you down or anything man. Ya we have seen those pics posted about three times this year, that is just something to learn from. NOS is your friend, if you treat id good it will treat you good.. If anybody has Qs about NOS talk to Don in texas or MardiGrasMax, they realy know about it and I think they would agree with me...

Who the hell installed that thing? Have the bottle warmer able to operate without the key in the ignition. Just don't do that and nitrous is pretty safe.
