Default Bottle has nitrous in it BUT!

okay so i made like 5 or 6 passes on the 100shot last night and then went to race a G35 coupe and there was no purge no nothing- went and checked the bottle everything was cool- close bottle up take line off then check to see if there is any nitrous- yes massive white cloud comes out- put line back on and turn bottle back on- still nothing...


anyone got any ideas? bottle was still @ 900psi

The bottle could be runing low. The psi may be at 900 with the bottle closed, but as soon as you hit it (or purge), it may be dropping down quite a bit if its almost empty.

Also, sometimes purging doesn't have teh big white cloud. It can come out completely clear.

the only way to know is to weigh the bottle and see if anything is in it.

My N2O won't hit when the bottle has anywhere less than 3 pounds left in it. Just one of those things. There is probably nothing wrong with yours, just refill your bottle and spray on.

I run a 100 shot and get quite a few runs out of a full bottle, you said there was "no nothing" were the solenoids even opening? It might be a wiring problem check your fuses.

unless you have an inline filter the only other filter is a screen on the inlet side of your nitrous noid.

NO since i didnt see any nitrous come out of the purge i did not spray because i didnt want to run to rich. I meant "no nothing" bye how much was comming out of the purge- i think i have leak in my guage port of the bottle- so i took it out and reconnected it with PLENTY of silicone sealant

i hope your kidding. use threadlocker only. or teflon paste. teflon tape and silicon sealant will break down and screw up everything.
