Default How many lbs does a 15 lb bottle usually run out at?

I went out and raced a buddy and the n20 didn't work very well so I weighed it afterwords and it weighed 27 lbs. It weighs 19 lbs empty and 34 lbs full of n20... So should I have had n20 or no?

Do you have any clue what the bottle pressure was.

FWIW mine is mounted in the E configuration.

Just looking through your pics in your signature you have a very nice very clean ride Randy.

I really am digging it.

Mine is mounted more like E than anything else, but it is a little more upright. I have the sticker facing up like the pic show so I think my tube should be pointing the right way unless the tube is installed wrong somehow...

It's not so much the decals ,it's the valve outlet port ,were the hose screws on . It enline with the siphon tube inlet . My bottles are mounted crossways to the car, so I turn the bottle valve about 45* so the siphon tube or pickup tube is pointing to the rear of the car. So the G-force pushes the liquid to the side of the bottle so the pickup tube stays in liquid nitrous. This is important when your about a haft a tank or less of nitrous

I never thought about it like that.

One thing I saw at the track Saturday night that I had never seen before and your diagram illustrates it.

A guy had a bottle mounted upside down with no siphon tube in his front passenger seat.

I had never seen a bottle mounted that way until that night and again I am seeing it in your diagram. Very ingenious.

Is it ok to mount the bottle like diagram D? will you still get enough nitrous flow?

I use the (E) & (D) , I turn my twin 15# bottles (E) so under acceleration the nitrous is forced to the back of the bottle, And (D) to keep the nitrous at the bottom of the bottle.
