should i go with gauge on bottle or auto meter gauge in pod Just wondering is one more accurate then the other i know having it in a gauge pod is easier to see.....Also how do u hook the auto meter up do u just run a tee off it and have the feed line going in and then back out to the solenoid?

running a gauge on the bottle will be the easiest and most accurate but if you have the bottle hidden then you will have to run a pod gauge. the bad thing about running a gauge in a pod that you will end up wasting a lot of nitrous every time you open/close the bottle because it has to fill up that line every time, so if you are going to go that route go with an electronic gauge

Can u just run a tee in the line and have the tee connected the actual gauge...Am i making sense lol that way the main feed line keeps going to the solenoid just has a tee in it a guage and i will have a shorter line coming from tee to solenoid cuz i dont wanna run two main lines as mentioned and i already got auto meter gauge but not the bottle gauge trying to make what i got work lol

I just did this in my car. I will try and get you a pic today. I couldn't see the bottle gauge from the driver seat so I decided to go with an autometer gauge in the a pillar. I used a fitting from nitro daves that has two NPT ports in it. That way I could run my bottle heater safety switch and the sending unit for the gauge on the same fitting. I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

I have my gauges at the bottle to look at went it not open for in the summer. then i have my nitrous senders at the solenoid to read the bottle pressure. I like knowing my pressure at the solenoid before it goes in the engine, My bottles are in the back so i get a little pressure drop over 16'
