I used to run a 15 lb bottle with a bottle opener in my old Trans Am. There was plenty of space without the BO, but with it, it got tight. 2 ten lb. bottles will fit in there too. That's what I might do next.

can you use 2, 10lb bottles, using one bottle opener? I'm not sure how the bottle opener works, I didn't know if you could run a line to each bottle, and use the opener as a open/close gate

Cant see how that would work. Cant fill a nitrous bottle if you cant close it afterwards...

Maybe just leave the bottles open, run 2 smal lines to 1 line, and have a solendion there, then activate the soleniod to work the nitrous.

The small lines, and new good connections would keep leaks to a minimum...

The biggest I have seen is 15lb with opener. We have a 20lb here at the shop and it is not much larger than the 15lb. It looks like it would fit in there as well.

No that wont work, I have the opener, and it basically is a motor on top of the valve, it opens and closes the valve on the bottle it is attached to. If you had two bottles hard fitted in a y then only one valve in the middle that would work with one opener, but you would have to fab something up, and I doubt any one would fill such a contraption. Here is the link to pics of my 10lb set up. http://www.organ1zedcha0s.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10
