Nitrous Legality?? Anyone know the laws? I just got an NX 100 Wet kit installed in my car this weekend.
I am keeping the bottle in my car without a remote bottle opener. I won't really be running it on the street for fear of doing a 360 when the juice kicks in with the already high HP I am making from my head and cam package.
My question is, if I get pulled over and some how a police officer finds the nitrous bottle while conducting a search of my car, would I get a ticked for it? What if the bottle is closed and there is no way of opening it from the inside?
Anyone know of a site, or have a document they could send me with some of the legality issues of nitrous?
Thanks,
Dan

Re: Nitrous Legality?? Anyone know the laws? Well, when I lived in PA (8yrs ago) you could have it in your car as long as it was not hooked up. Meaning main line off of bottle. The rules might have changed.....

Re: Nitrous Legality?? Anyone know the laws? Hey, with Heads and Cam and Juice you don't have to stop for a cop unless you want to... hehehe...
Show me ANYWHERE in the V.C. that says you can't carry non-flammable gas is a non-commercial vehicle. Did a search of the CA Vehicle Code and saw nothing.
I seriously doubt you will find anything that says you can or can't have nitrous in a car in the Vehicle Code. They say nothing about Wheelie Bars, Parachutes, Flame-out systems, 15" wide DOT Drag tires, etc.
BUT.... If you get stopped at a street race hangout, be prepared to get a full body cavity search with no Vaseline.
