Gas Puddle?

I Bought The Nx Wet Kit With A Walbro Fuel Pump, Auto Bottle Opener,auto Heater, Purge Kit And Window Switch W/ 1gear Lockout. I Heard A Couple Horror Stories Now I Am Scared To Install The N20. Something About A Gas Puddle Will Blow Me Up! Can I Prevent That Or Is That Just A Risk With N20

Some risk yes, but the prob is slim. Did you quite driving your car when you heard that 40k people die each year in car wrecks? Dry is slightly safer, but there are risks there also. Spray away, but remember, If you want to play, and can't pay, don't spray.

Just be sure to have the WOT switch, this way when it sprays you will always be at WOT and that will help make sure all the fuel gets sucked into the motor and not puddled up. And be sure to have the window switch set at least at 2900RPM's.

You shouldn't have a problem with puddling if everything is installed right and your tune is right. But...if it does puddle...BOOM!

The car will have a huge explosion in the engine bay and then spread to the fuel tank and blow the tank up. That's why we all wear fireproof race suits and helmets everytime we spray.

Remember to keep the traction control off when spraying.

Install the kit and have fun looks like you have all the need parts...

Also remember if you jump out a plan and the chute does not open its going to hurt... Just a stupid comment when I read peoples statement about blowing up the cars and gas tanks, fuel puddleing and what ifs, if this goes bad boom, if that goes bad boom..

Have do a clean correct install and test everthing and have fun..
"Spray away, but remember, If you want to play, and can't pay, don't spray." Thats wrong, Robert
