Default Should Bottle Be Closed When Parked?

I have heard many different things in regards to whether you should keep the bottle closed when your vehicle is parked....just looking for some answers. Will it cause problems with solenoids if they have the line pressure against them all the time? If so, does that mena you should purge the line after closing the bottle?

General rule of thumb I have always followed is its ok to drive and park to go in the store,etc. However but for overnight you should close the bottle and purge the pressure out.

Yes you should always close your bottle when not in use.

Just to be safe..... If you don't plan on using it for a few days at a time, i'd remove it from the car and put it somewhere safe. Not safe from theft, safe from exploding your house/car/pets etc....

I agree, if it's just during the day while using then your fine. But any extended time periods shut and purge.
