Default What all does it take to run 2 bottles?

Alright I already have 1 10lb bottle with a bottle heater. I would like to run another 10lb bottle as well. What all will I need to do this? I know I will need another bottle of course...But will I need another bottle heater? Also, what fittings do I need to link the two bottle together? Also, what can I use to make the blow down tubes run together? Also, will I need another remote bottle opener to open both bottles at once? Thanks.

I use 2 bottles, I run 2 heaters, 2 blow down lines, and we are not allowed remote openers, so I don't know if you can plumb both in to one opener. I use a y-block mounted to frame and run one line up to motor. I guess if you wanted 1 blow down you can use another y-block, I don't use tubes, I use hose.

How much more difficult is it to run 2 of everything? Does it get costly? I kinda want to run a 10lbs and a 5lbs hidden somewhere.

Thanks for the help. Yeah I would imagine it would get costly.

My car is a legal Pro-Modified, it was built for 2 stages, and has a dual holder.
All I did was remove one line and added a y-block, to save weight, less chance of leak ect. I have 10 bottles already, so it didn't cost me much. I had to buy 1 more heater.

I run dual 10lb bottles in all my cars. I do not like 15lb bottles.

You will need two sets of bootle brackets, Two bottles, a Y connector and two hoses to go from the Y to the bottles.

I suggest dual heater elements. You can use one pressure switch.
