How do you prevent it from sticking open. I have heard a fuel filter help's what else prevent's it from staying open.

clean fuel filter for the fuel solenoid, clean n2o filter for the n2o solenoid, and just check them regularly to make sure theyre working properly (dont activate the system, just disconnect the lines and make sure both are clicking right). thats just what i do

if youre driving and you KNOW its open, turn the car off immediately! if the n2o one got stuck open i believe you're supposed to pull the spark plugs and turn the engine over to get rid of the nitrous in the cylinders. someone correct me if im wrong

Run DUAL solenoids but CHECK THEM OFTEN....

What happens to alot of people is they run dual solenoids and figure 'oh I am fine' Then, one sticks open and they never know untill the second one sticks....

Noids it stuck from trash getting in the lines, Always run a good nitrous filter, if you are ever working on any of the nitrous stuff, always plug or cover up and nitrous lines, or any open ports in the noinds. Along with running a good nitrous and fuel filter I like the run the An Fittings that have a small screen in them going into my noids, you would be suprised what you will find on them when you clean them out,
