Default who does not run nitrous with a filter

My two vendors have filters on there re-fill stations, but I do not have one. Is it REALLY that critical. Who does run one and who does not?

Since your vendors filter their nitrous it's probrably not a must have for you, but for $50 it's cheap insurance. If you have a nitrous solenoid hang open it's probrably not going to be pretty. At the very least, put a filtered fitting at the noid.

FWIW: My supplier filters the nitrous when they fill the mother bottles, I also run a filter on my refill station and in the car. It is possible to get junk inside the bottle nut after a refill. Many people just crack the bottle open real quick to clean out the nut before putting a bottle in the car.

It is that critical. That is why we put one in all our solenoids. So if its an nx kit then you probably have a filter there and just did not realize it. The smallest piece of trash can stick a noid open. Now the size will dictate how much nitrous gets though. but I have seen a small dot on a piston that kept the thing open. Wipe the dot off and the noid sealed.

If the thread were leaking just put some red loctite on the pipe threads and reinstall. That should seal it.

Always run a filter it's not worth getting junk in your bottle that will clog your inline filters etc

I had someone asking me NXRicky, is the built in filter in the NX solenoid as effective as a typical nitrous filter???
