Can they fill your standard tanks or do you need an adapter?

Also what do they usually charge. There is a joke of a speed shop down the street from me that sells nitrous and they was 6$/lb. I almost laughed in their face when I heard that.

every place is different however i do not need an adapter at the place i go to. As for price i havn't filled a bottle for awhile so I would just call and ask them but more then likely it'll be cheaper that that.

I would sure hope its a lot cheaper than that. I thought normal speed shops were selling it for 3.50 a lb and nitrous suppliers I would assume would be cheaper.

$3.50 was years ago. I wouldn't be surprised at more shops getting $6 lb this summer.

last year the going rate was anywhere from 4.50 to 5 bucks a pound. As for places in MA that fill them, there is New England Dyno in Douglas, Charlton Performance in Charlton, and this crappy place in Framingham on RT9 that has a sign out front that says they fill, but when i asked the guy about it he got all pissy about it saying he doesnt make any money off it yadda yadda yadda.

There is no $$ in Nitrous -the reason I don't plan on carrying it.By the time you setup a few bottles,buy a pump ect the payoff is well over a year.
