Default The Importance of a Nitrous Filter

We decided to clean our nitrous filter from our pump station, after filling bottles for two months. This is what came out of it. This is trash from the mother bottles. Lets face it, a lot of these mother bottles are old. There is bits and pieces of Teflon tape, rust and small pieces of trash.All of these contaminants can end up in your system. Something as small as a grain of sand can cause a nitrous solenoid to be jammed open and leak. If the place that is filling your bottles doesn't have a filter, this can be going into your bottles. Hopefully this can show you the importance of having a nitrous filter.

Is it more ideal to install a filter closer to the bottle or the solenoid? I would imagine closer to the bottle to keep gunk out of the feed line...

We usually run the filter by the bottle. Use the short line from the bottle to filter and then connect your main feed to the filter. An affordable filter can save you a lot of headache later down the road. - Matt

Are there any issues with nitrous filters hindering flow for larger setups?

example: 6an 40 micron filter on 300-400hp ?

No you wont have any issues at all. There is a phase change as it expands into the filter but its so small that you will never notice it. We have a customer spraying an 800 shot using a filter with no issues at all.

I noticed a huge change in the crap in my filter when I changed vendors... Old vendor did not use dip tubes in the mother bottles.... Had a ton of crap. New vendor has dip tubes, less crap but lose more in the mother bottle

Any pictures of the filters set up? I was thinking about looming my two bottles together that are going to be mounted on the hump and have the filter right after. Figured it was better than having the filter in the engine bay
