TNT's bottle heater
 

This thing came with a cigarette lighter plug on the end. Can this thing be hard wired and still work properly? Also does anyone know if this heater will not overheat the bottle?

Thanks, mrTNT

For whatever reason TNT does not tell you their bottle heater is really for a C5, not a F-body. If you want your bottle in the spare tire area you'll have to either splice the wires & devise your own system to turn it on & off & also you'll have to watch the pressure so you know when to turn it off or get a different bottle heater. I got the TNT bottle heater & was pissed that they didn't say I had to do all this B.S. to make it work with my car, so I sold it to a guy with a C5 & bought the NX warmer that's already set up for you. It's your choice but I would sell it & get one that's actually made for a F-body.

I just installed a cigarette lighter plug hole on a friends mustang. I hot wired it to a relay and just used it for power so I wouldnt have to splice the warmer. Ive had a NX warmer on my car for over a year and a half and havent had any problems.

Here is a pic of it. its in the corner.

Come on Guys…

Let’s get a little creative. Here is my simple/cheap resolution. Works like a charm. Even has a switch to turn on and off!! Plug it in, hide the wire and your good to go.... <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

Good thinking F1! I was like ?HUH? <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> when I first saw the TNT bottle warmer. Now I know what I need to do. Thanks F1.

Thats pretty much what I did. but I hot wired the other end of the adapter. That way I could plug in my radar detector and phone charger in the other one.

I love TNT,but the bottle heater looks a little cheesy <img src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" border="0" alt="[barf]" />

I tried wiring my NOS heater through the cig lighter today.. All it did was blow a fuse.. Any one know how much current these things pull?
