this might be some bad news for nitrous guys!! http://www.montereyherald.com/scienc...-nitrous-oxide

 

People are stupid!

 

Mmmm...lets huff some naaaawwwsss.

 

Idiots lol! I was under the impression that you can transport nitrous in a vehicle, but can't have the bottle open...kind of like the open container law lol

 

State to State laws vary on IF it's hooked up and/or on. Maryland says you need to have the placard on front and rear plus not hooked up.
Then there's the laws on huffing also.

MARYLAND:

From the criminal code:

§ 22-404.5. Power booster systems prohibited; exceptions.

(a) "Power booster system" defined.- In this section, "power booster system" means any device installed in a motor vehicle which allows liquid nitrous oxide to combine with gasoline for the purpose of increasing engine power.

(b) Use prohibited.- Except as provided in subsection (c) of this section, a person may not operate on a highway a motor vehicle equipped with a power booster system.

(c) Exceptions.- A person may operate on a highway a motor vehicle equipped with a power booster if:

(1) The vehicle is enroute to or from a track where the vehicle is used for racing and the power booster system is inoperative; or

(2) The container of nitrous oxide has been removed from the vehicle.


(d) Identification decal.- Every motor vehicle equipped with a power booster system shall be identified with a decal that:

(f) Fee for decal.- The Office of the Fire Marshal or nitrous oxide industry source that issues the vehicle identification decal may charge a fee for the issuance of a vehicle identification decal not to exceed the reasonable cost of preparation and distribution.

But I can have twin turbos, a supercharger, and an oxygen tank w/ mask in my car and on, working, with no problem

Nitrous is an oxidizer people it does not burn.

 

Only charges I'm aware of here in NC for nitrous would be if it were used you could get careless and wreck less or possibly a prearranged racing charge. Would I charge it...probably not, only because I know what's done to my Camaro haha!

 

does anybody know florida laws?? i got pulled over like 5 years back and the cop seen my nitrous bottle in the back seat and even asked me about it and nothing happened, i didnt even get the speeding ticket. but they are writing laws as fast as they can i would like to know for sure..

 

If they were selling that much, it must have been medical grade.

 

I was under the impression that nitrous for non medical use had a sulfur additive to make you not want to use it for other than a power adder. Anyone else hear of this?

 

Yes i've heard this as well

 

^ It is not medical grade and is not safe to use. There two totally different things as far as whats in them.

 

Yes... but when I bought a bottle off craigs list and was told it was full...it didn't stop me from cracking the valve in the truck to check (raining out and windows up) after I felt a touch lite headed, I had to roll the windows down to air out. Weird feeling, but couldn't tell you I smelled sulfur

 

That's one hell of a profit margin they were getting there. They said they confiscated 36,000lbs with a $20,000,000 street value that's $555 a lb or $5,550 for a full 10lb bottle. They need to check their numbers I don't see anyone paying that kind of coin to huff nitrous.

 

Good idea fairy strikes again.
