Default Propane Pusher system...

I am considering a propane pusher system for next year. What do you need to do to the bottle to modify it and how much weight does the system add?

I think you mean nitrogen push. The nitrous bottle valve has to have a gauge port that does not see any liquid nitrous. The nitrogen will flow into the nitorus bottle from the top pushing the liquid nitrous down maintaining a constant flow. You will need a bottle of nitrogen, hoses, adaptors, either a gauge and regulator or a solenoid with a pressure controlled switch.
PLEASE make sure you have all your notes and understand what is going on before starting. And never use any flamable subtance (propane) as the pusher media.
