Message Not sure if this has been posted before, but though I'd bring it up since there are many people in the NOS G.B. going on right now.

"Make sure your system is in top shape at all time and frequently check for damaged equipment." Also, make sure it is installed properly.

I came accross this about two years ago about a 91 Maxima whos 15lb NOS bottle violently exploded in the trunk. From what I gather, a faulty heater or blowdown tube could be to blame. Thank God no one was in the car when the bottle exploded.

Some pics:

Amazing on the force the bottle produced. Parts of the car actually shot through the entire wall and ceiling! Also, just curious about people who have NOS and live in hot climates. Is this more likely to happen. How hot does the bottle have to get before it explodes?

Anyway, though I'd pass it on for those who have not read about it. More pics and the full story can be found here [ http://www.healthyhome.net/nitrousexpress.htm ] . Be careful with that stuff guys and make sure it is working properly. Have fun though!

Regards,
Chuck
