A misdemeanor of the fourth degree is punishable by a fine of $250 - $1000 and six months in jail. Obviously these levels are at the descretion of a judge.
It would be up to the officer to interpret "open container" and to decide if the open container law is intended toward inhalation or in our case racing or reckless operation.

put the bottle in the trunk and dont have any visable nitrous equipment in the passenger compartment. that will save you from having to answer any unwanted questions about nitrous and giving them a reason to ask to search your trunk.
they cant legally search your "locked" trunk or glovebox without your permission unles they have probable cause to do so. so if they ask to search your trunk, you can say no but than it opens you up for more problems...they'll call in the drug sniffing dogs and all that crap probably.
What they dont see wont hurt you....period! the laws of our great states are sooo fucked up on the subject that all its gonna do is take up your valuable time and money. goodluck.
