This was around here a long time ago. There were 3 problems:

1. The bottle heater was not wired to keyed power and stayed on after car
shut off

2. The bottle valve was closed and the heater is controlled by pressure on
that brand so the heater shut off was not able to work properly

3. The owner installed a blow down tube (required when bottle is in vehicle)
but did not remove the old relief disk so had double the pressure on the
relief port.

You need to follow directions on these systems carefully. It was not a
problem, with the nitrous but with the owner operator.

I'll keep my nitrous setup thank you.
