Default mother bottle fill ?

For any of you guys with nitrous fill station's. Where do you get you're mother bottles filled? Are there any special requirements that have to be met to get a big bottle filled? Here where I live there is one fill station in town and they want $5.50 a pound for nitrous , f*ck that. A few of my friends spray also and we are all going in on a fill station. The problem is we will probably have to drive 120 miles round trip to get the big bottle filled. Any info on this is apprieciated.

Contact your local gas/welding supply company. They should be able to sell to you wholesale, and they will lease you a mother bottle. My lease is $37 a year per bottle. With the lease set up, your bottle is not refilled, all you do is extange it for a full one. You shouldn't need a special requirements to buy Nitrous Plus/Automotive grade nitrous. Should be between $2-3 a pound.

I've called every welding supply shop in town and none deal with n20. I might just try Indianapolis.

If they have a route in your area they will usually drop bottles for a small fee. I would ask them about that too. Man handling and trasporting a 225lbs bottle can get old.

You're not gonna have any luck around indianapolis. The best price I could get was like $3.75 per pound. I don't pay that retail. I am driving 5 hrs each way to get my nitrous, but I am bringing home 180lbs at a time at a VERY good price.

Depends on the kit. between $550.00 and $1100. NX, NOS, Edlebrock, and Zex all sell fill stations.

You can buy new good pumps on ebay for about $450, sometimes used name brands come up cheap too. Other than that, it's not to hard to peice one togethor. If you have 4AN components lying around, a 4AN refill set up will work fine, even though most guys use 6AN. A siphon feed mother bottle will work fine too, not buying a stand to flip a non siphon bottle will save anothe $75 or so.
