Default Direction of Bottle Placement?

I have a quick question guys, probably a stupid one at that, but does it matter which direction my bottle is mounted, i.e. bottle nozzle facing rear of the car. Thanks is advance!

The nozzle needs to be facing the front if you are using the wedge mount. Force from launching and forward motion will push the liquid to the back. Which will make sure the siphon tube stays submerged.

The valve really needs to be facing the front of the car for the reason specified above. However, you can mount it at an angle, or even completely sideways. If you mount it sideways, you'll want to turn the nipple of the bottle towards the back of the vehicle at a 45° angle. This is because the pick-up tube that inside the bottle would still need to face the rear of the vehicle in order to pick nitrous up under hard acceleration. Let me know if you need anything else and I'll do all I can to help you out!
