Fuel Cells???

Ok Im just getting into nitrous and what i was wondering if you decide to go with a wet nitrous system is it good to go with a fuel cell rather than going into your own fuel supply.

I use a 1 gal cell with a separate pump, regulator etc. Its very easy to setup and you can use any kind of race fuel in small quantities like that vs having to put it in you tank.

thanks for the info but i didnt even think about what octane to use. Now is it better to use racing gas i guess it would be better bang right?

I use it to keep the detonation monsters at bay as opposed to a better bang. Using a higher octane fuel gives virtually the same result as lowering you timing.

I was reading that post in the link and about the fuel TEEs, Is getting the proper tee size is to allow a better fit? or is it because the NX tee is too small to provide flow? right now I have the nx tee but I havent sprayed yet.

The tee with the kit is 1/4" and the Maxima fuel line is 5/16", you MUST put in the proper size or it will leak.

so the only concern about using the improper size is leaking am I correct? or will a 1/4th tee be too small to supply the correct flow?

either way Im buying the correct tee today but I just want to know the reason for it other than leaking.

I don't know if it would flow enough fuel but gas leaks are a major catasrophe and all your fuel lines are 5/16"
