maybe its true.
maybe your car wouldnt explode.
the bottle might just take off like a rocket and you can party like its chinese new year.
maybe.

Never, ever put direct flame to a nitrous bottle to increase pressure. Smart racers invest in a heated water tank to safely bump bottle pressure. An open flame can cause aluminum bottle fatigue, which can cause the bottle to explode. The carnage that an exploding nitrous bottle can cause is something you never want to experience.

How on earth does it create havoc in the cylinders, upping the cylinder pressure hugely to make more power then:!:

If it didn't have any explosive properties, you might aswell pour 30wt suspension fluid into your intake.

I know how it works; the point is that it aids combustion to make power and thus has some explosive properties.
It's certainly not "unflammable" as mentioned earlier

read the article guy's , its all in there...
nitrous oxide is an oxidizer, so it liberates oxygen which is when added to the intake mixture with additional fuel increases the efficiency of the combustion process in the engine relative to the original combustion cycle...hence more output...
the stuff has been around since WW II from what i have read, so it's definately not as Hi tech as some make out... :roll:Lots of MK 1 Scirocco's...
If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??
Cheers,

nothin like big corperate names and good advertising to make simple laughin gas that grogs u up at the doctors seem new and fantasticVW: it aint just a car, its a way of life
There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

the reason the nirtous exploded in fast and the fur... was because their was a fire before, therefore what happends when a compressed bottle gets hot? it expands whats inside and the bottle explodes not the nitrous! now when the bottle explodes the nitrous gets out and then it aids the fire creating a fireball!! am i right or am i right?

Ok guys it's not what's in the bottle that causes the prob in this case if it were to happen, it's the pressure that it is stored at that creates the risk of explosion. think about it 900-1000 psi in that bottle you wouldn't want to drop it on the concrete.
