I started this on forabodiesonly and got alot
of flack.
Just wondering what everyone is paying for a
tank full?
I am putting it on the Duster to go racing this
year and wondered.
Most everyone over there dosn't like the idea.
So I put it on the bottle! It's a nother 150 hp.
that I can use, or not.
Just till I can get a stroker motor.
Thanks.

10 pounds of liquid iS 10 pounds of liquid does not matter if pumped or gravity nor does one or the other last longer.

I sold at 4.50 a pound this past season.

You just dont get it. If your 10 pound bottle weighs 25 pounds its full. Period. The only way you will get less runs is if the shop did not fill it. Did you weigh your bottle every time it was filled to be sure it was filled?

$4.25/lb. If you don't use a pump, you have to make the bottle cold or freeze it to get it full. Why can't they get the bottle full? Are they using scales? Do they know that you can't get the last third of N2O out of the big bottle?


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Shops around here charged $7/lb a few years ago. 70 bucks for a 10 lb bottle was too much for me so I sold my nitrous junk.

I saw that and the usual knothead was the instigator. He's not here for a reason.

Remember it's for guys that can't build HP... so says the tool that doesn't build his own stuff!

Hay Blown61. I live in Rhinelander. Local body
shop owner has it for his snowmobiles. He said
he could do it at his cost. He has a filling
station.

i have paid anywhere from 212.00 to 118.00 for a 64lb bottle....Best thing is if you can find two places to play against each other, start your own price war sort of, at least sometimes this "bad" economy can help you out LOL LOL
I have been buying 64lb mother bottles and filling my own since 1989

I have learned a lot of tricks too and have been getting 52-58lbs out of my 64lb bottles

Where do you get them and how are you filling your small bottles?

Welding supply places. I have always used the easy method of frezzing my bottles and just hook up a line to the mother bottle, thats it.

you need to know if your mother bottle has a dip tube or not. If it does not have a dip tube, you need a stand that will hold the bottle upside down. You freeze your bottle for 3-12 hrs. Place you bottle on a scale, hook up a line to the mother bottle. Crack the valve on the mother bottle, crack the line to purge it of air at the small bottle, then open both valves and watch the scale. Do not overfill ....thats about it.

Sounds simple BUT be very careful as liquid nitrous CAN give you a freeze burn. Its best to have someone walk you through it the first couple times. I learned how to do it becasue instead of getting my bottles filled all the time, i would freeze bottles and transfer from 1/2 full to make a full bottle. This gave me a lot of practice..LOL LOL
