And THAT is why the first thing I do after a pass is disarm the nitrous system, and as soon as I'm on the return road (and know the car isn't idling really high or acting funny) I shut the bottle off... that way if I ever DID have a leaky solenoid, the bottle is shut and the car's still running, so if there was anything leaking bast a solenoid it will be out of the system and the bottle will be shut prior to shutting off the car.

Also one reason, that I never put a fresh bottle in the car and open it up, before the car is running. It 100% prevents the possibility of a leaky nitrous solenoid from filling the intake with nitrous and me starting the car in that state.

I also, purge the line after the run is done to relieve any pressure from the line now as well.


When I get the car back together, I'm adding another safety feature, a 1/4 tueb ball valve. I'll put a pressure ga, a good liquid filled one that will attach to the bottle nut with a 1/4 turn on it. This way I can open the valve on the bottle, and have an easy 1/4 turn valve I can reach over and close. This will make shutting the nitrous flow off quick and easy, also a nice safety feature if something like that ever happened, before I bail out of the car shoudl it ever catch fire, I'll hit the 1/4 turn so I know the nitrous won't be feeding the fire.

I'm also, ditching the stock fuel tank in favor fo a small 3 gallon one too. This way, there's a MAX of 3 gallons of fuel (still alot I know, but alot less then the 8 or 9 I could have in the stock tank) so if there was ever a fire, the total amount of burnable fuel will be less.

This is the worst nitrous Explosion I have ever seen and I was there to see it first hand at our local track. It is an old video from 2004

That's really scary. When you see the driver not getting out of the car it's not good.. he was on fire as well when he got out.

Curious, he end up o.k.?

That wasnt a nitrous explosion but good try. Thomas Myers had a terrible explosion earlier this year.

That one doesnt hold a candle to Chuck Ulsch's explosion a couple years ago. I still shake my head at this one. Solenoid hung wide open.

LOL I walked right into that one

I just figured my Texas Speed 408 with 467 R.W.H.P. is good enough not to use nitrous
