7. Bottle Orientation
Bottle placement is critical to the performance of your CFNS nitrous system. It is important to understand
how the bottle valve and siphon tube are assembled to properly orient the bottle in your vehicle and ensure
that it picks up liquid nitrous while undergoing acceleration. All CFNS nitrous bottles are assembled so that
the bottom of the siphon tube is at the bottom of the
bottle and opposite the bottle label (Figure 2). Whenever the bottle is mounted in a lay-down position, the
valve handle must be towards the front of the vehicle with the label facing up (Figure 3A).
If the bottle is mounted vertically, the valve handle and label must face toward the front of the vehicle (Figure
3B). This orientation will position the siphon tube at the back of the bottle where the liquid N2O will be during
acceleration.
WARNING! DO NOT attempt to remove the siphon tube without completely emptying the bottle of all nitrous
and pressure. Failure to completely empty the bottle will result in an explosive condition causing injury or
death.
A bottle mounted upside-down must have the siphon tube removed before use (Figure 3C). Non-siphon
bottles can be specially ordered from CFNS. If the bottle must be mounted parallel to the axles of the vehicle
(sideways), the valve handle and label must be angled at approximately 45° toward the front of the vehicle
(Figure 3D). This orientation will position the siphon tube toward the rear of the bottle.
When using a bottle with a siphon tube, the tall bracket should be at the valve end of the bottle and the short
bracket at the bottom (Figure 3E). The most efficient mounting is the lay-down position (Figure 3A) with the
valve handle toward the front of the vehicle. This position allows the greatest amount of liquid to be used
before the siphon tube begins to pick up gaseous nitrous oxide.
