Where to hide the bottle in a C5?? I have a C5 with a system in the floor using the center rear compartment for the box/etc. So that area is out of the question. Where else could I hide a bottle and still be able to get to it to fill it?

If the bottle is mounted parallel with the car as recommended, hard acceleration pushes the nitrous in the direction of the pickup tube, not away from it.
