I think that N20 requires around 572*f to have the nitrogen separate from the oxygen. After that happens it is very flammable.Before that its alot like very cold air.

pffft I've given up trying to explain all the crap in F&F ... It's just a movie.... people try to read waaaaaaaaaay too much into that crap.... reminds me of a story I read
Kevin Sorbo (played Hercules on tv) was at the gym working out... this guy comes up to him and says "Hey aren't you supposed to be the strongest man on Earth??? I'm lifting more than you..." Kevin looks at him and says "you do realize that's T.V. right..."
LOL

As I was typing that I was wondering if it being under pressure would affect it. I can't say for sure.

I have an NX bottle in my car and to install the blowdown tube I have to remove the original pressure release and replace it with the one that came from the NX upgrade kit.
This guy is obviously clueless.Did he not get instructions with the kit?

Ok, I can see that happening under those circumstances.

Most mistake like this happens when people do not fully read or understand the instructions. You can install every saftey item know to man but if you dont read the instruction it will bight you in the ***. Just my thoughts but this guy most have been looking for something. The written post (story) on line has been changed several times.
