V8 Beast Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 After having my bottle checked they found that it was cracked and it was only a matter of time before it would blow. Being in the back of my car I really wouldnt have to worry about it, but I would hate for it the burst open while someone was filling it. To put it into perspective it would be kind of like holding dynamite if the bottle were pointed towards you when it happened. Anyone have a bottle for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPFSTheFett Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 There was a picture on the net awhile back that showed the damage of what a nitrous bottle blowing up did to a car and the garage the car was in. It was crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Related story. Around 1995, I had to kick a car out of our GAS STATION. Around closing time, I stopped in to check on things, and I saw a tubbed S-10 parked about 10-15' from our pumps. I asked the guy working, "cool, what's that guy doing?" "I dunno. He asked to borrow a propane torch." I ran out, and sure as shit, his blue bottle was mostly carbon-colored by then. I asked if he had a gauge. He said, "nope, you can't heat them up too much."

Avenger1647545502 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Has anyone ever heard anything about how the lawsuit(s) resolved? I remember seeing the local news report, the first thought that went through my head was, "Oh, he left the bottle heater on!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
