So i didn't get a heater yet and i realize how important they are now. I will be ordering one soon. Until I get one and install it, is there anyway to warm a bottle? Im thinking wet towels. Any other ideas?

 

Hot bucket of water will work in a pinch.

 

90* outside temp.

 

yea hot water before you go out...other then that your screwed...i stuck mine under the hood between runs to warm it before...and ive done the torch thing...

 

Oh c'mon you could always just use a MAP torch...






j/k please don't

 

either put it in th sunlight for 5 minutes or put it under the foot heater in the passenger side

 

i have a brand new nitrous outlet bottle warmer ... for 150 obo shipped ..pm me if interested ..

 

A torch. = )

 

why not the map torch its oldschool but it works....

 

I don't like the torch but know plenty of people that do it. I myself have a bottle warmer but oh well. Torch or hot water. Now that it's getting warmer even by just leaving it in your trunk you can build 900 PSI or so. Might not be optimal if you run an NX kit or any other one that requires 1050ish pressure but it'll get the job done.

 

torch.....just be smart and dont keep it in the same spot

 

Just fill the sink with hot water when it hits 11-1200 head out
(turn up your water heater if needed)

 

Torch isn't the safest way, I don't like the whole idea, but I'd be lying if I said I have never done it.

I ahve a bottle heater in the car wired in, and I have a torch that comes with me to the track, and the truck's heater usually gets left on with the truck running for a 1/2 hour when I get to the track, bottles all on the floor.

I was considering getting an elec water heater and a tub to bring with me to the track, once I have a small generator I can bring with me I will probably make something up that will be portable and somewhat easy to use. A deep rubbermaid bucket, and a small hot water heater, just fill it with water when you get to the track and turn it on, I'm gonna try to rig up a t-stat so I can just set it and walk away.

Summer time it's easy, leave the bottle in the sun, but when it's cold out it's a bitch.

 

I bought a Harbor Freight heat gun to put in the trailer for getting a cold bottle up to temp. Works well and takes about 10-15 minutes depending on the outside temp. I use the bottle heater in the car to maintain the pressure.

If I have time before leaving for the track, throwing the bottle in a warm shower works fantastic. Turn the water on hot and throw the bottle under the faucet. Takes about 3-5 minutes to heat the bottle up from 700psi.

 

Yep, I agree, just put it under your heater duct on the way to the track and bingo, it'll be warm when you get there.
