2 questions for you then :) Do you have a nitrous pressure gauge? if you do you can check the pressure every so often to see how high it is. Question 2, did you get a blow down tube? If you did you should be ok, IF (and I say IF because it doesn't happen often)it should blow off it will go out the blow down tube. It's been 90 here last 3 days and haven't had a problem and the car hasn't been moved, so it is all the trapped heat from having no windows open. (will hate to get in there later :( ) I don't think you should really have a problem unless you have some really high temps where you are. Ohh and don't worry if the bottle sweats it's just because the nitrous inside is cooler than the temps outside.

i dont have the bd tube yet,, BUT i did order one,,i have the pressure guage, but when the bottle is closed the needle on the guage eventually makes its way back down to 0,, also a ? about bottle blankets,, are they only used for when the temp fgoes down such as fall & winter time,, or can they be used in the summer to keep the bottle at the same temp/pressure...thanx todd also, at what pressure would the bottle break the pressure release valve?,, and im assuming u could relieve the bottle pressure by using the purge kit?
