Default No bottle heater

I have my kit fully done and am ready for a tune and everything is good. I'm missing a bottle heater and purge. I wanna warm my bottle up in the bath to get me some good pressure. For about how long and hot should I leave the bottle in the tube ( just watch the gauge??) and how long will it last at this pressure

I always had my tube on as hot as it would go, and it only took maybe 5 minutes. I wrapped it in towels, and it stayed above 1000 for about 3 hours, started at 1200. This was on a 15lb bottle. Not sure how long it held pressure after i used it though. I am so glad i bought an automatic bottle heater, never have to worry about that **** anymore.

you might be able to use a heating pad also as a temp solution? Just plug it into the wall
and monitor pressue.

I have used the hot water at the shop to bring up bottle pressure.It does it real quick so make sure you have a gauge on the bottle or you will overheat it with some quickness.
