Default Dangerous to run line inside?

I am a bit worried running the nitrous lineinside the car. Just feels that if I have a leak, i dont want the entire cockpit to fill up with nitrous. If i have a leak and im just cruisin i dont want to black out from nitrous inhalation.


Anyone have any input? gonna be coming down inside from the spare tire area

I think the majority run the line inside, and being SS braided the chances of problems are slim. try to find one case of problems?

As long as you dont swing an axe around in your interior while you are drivng you will be fine with it inside.

I never had a problem with my nitrous line on the inside.

Well correct me if i'm wrong; but if the bottle is gonna be in the car the nitrous line will be in the car at some point in time. Not trying to sound like an ***, i'm just saying.

My SS line popped inside my car once before and emptied a whole fresh warm bottle that I had only made one pass on into the "cockpit" of my TA with the windows up. I heard the hissing sound and was thinking "wtf???" It started during my burnout in the waterbox, and I figured out what it was by the time I made it to the line. So I just flipped my n2o arm switch off and I made a new best NA pass

I didnt notice any effects from the fume inhalation whatsoever. Maybe the interior isnt small enough?

I would run it under the car and not in the cab of the car. Just ziptie it along the bottom and tucked up and away from moving pieces. Not hard at all and better than having it in the cab. There is a grommet at the bottom of the spare tire area that you can run it through. Not hard

I had one blow on me. Very exciting in the staging lanes. People were running over with fire extingushers thinking I was on fire. Hard as hell to breathe when turning off bottle, nitrous really takes away your breath.

On most all my installs I run the main feed line inside the car. Just make sure the hose is not around and objects that may eventually rub through or puncture the hose. Also make sure there are no bare wires up agaist the feed line. If there are wrap them in wire loom. The hose will rub a bare spont in the wire over time. If the wire is a hot wire it will burn a hole through the hose.

Ohhh,

If you run it outside the car. Make sure it is not against anything that will puncture or rub a hole in it. Also make sure it is up tite where it can not be caught on anything. make sure you do not crush it with a floor jack and make sure it is away from the exhaust.
