bottle pressure too high?? when I leave for work in the morning, the pressure is at ~650, when i get out to my car after work it has been as high as 1500psi, due to the heat here in houston. At what psi is this thing gonna blow it's safety valve?....TNT bottle BTW. I've tried cracking my windows and covering the bottle, so far nothing has helped.

Usually 3000 psi. But the blow of discs are not an exact science...a 3000 rupture disc could go off at 3000...or it could be 2700...especially if its old. So keep in mind when handling a fully service bottle that its possible to go off at any time. Keep that in mind when you place it in your car...even just for transport.
Also this is another great reason why you really only need to put 10 lbs of nitrous in a 10 lb bottle. Its possible to pack quite a bit more into a 10 lb bottle than just 10 lbs. But what happens when the over serviced bottle returns to ambiant temps and its a hot day??? Pressure sky rockets.
