Nitrous Pressure Question???

I have never tried my new HSW Plate system yet so I took it out today. I had my heater on for a long time and my pressure never went up. How much pressure do you need in the bottle to get it up to 900+ PSI with the heater on? The heater was on a long time and the pressure never went up above 350. The bottle was very hot. Was the bottle too low? How long can it be and still hit?

Thanks,
Bill

Was the valve open? It depends on where your guage is located but either way if your bottle was open it should have been reading. Is there any nitrous in your bottle?

I did check if the valve was open- I have a opener. It purged OK. Right now the gauge is on the bottle. It only showed 350. It could be a bad gauge. I have not run the system since the bottle was filled. I am going to get it refilled. Maybe I played with the purge too much.

Thanks,
Bill

Either you are out of nitrous or your gauge is broken.

You can also use your bathroom scale to see how much nitrous is in the bottle.
