anyone hide their bottle?

I went to high school with a guy who had a really quick shortbed pickup. He mounted his bottle in the bed, hollowed out a bale of hay and covered it with that. What was funny is he went to a sticker shop and had a PRO FARM sticker made that he put in the corner of his window.:rlaugh:
 
mines behind the pass seat, with a hoodie over it, very convenient. the rest isnt very concealed..

Sounds like it would be sideways mounted like that. Did you ever have problems getting a good flow without the valve facing the front of the car? straw sucking vapor i guess you would call it?:shrug: I may put mine there if not...

no, one bracket is on the trans tunnel and one on the floor, so flow is good! feed line goes under the console.

Im thinking of moving it to under the dash soon..
 
really? how you figure... its not going to cause a fire but id rather not have a bottle come apart in my door... ever seen what happens when a nitrous bottles explodes? any idea what kinda pressure is in a nitrous bottle at temp?

this is why you dont leave them in your car during the summer also

I did it.

After finally coming to terms w/ the fact that I had to run it to win a grudge race, That black and white Zephyr had a 10lb. bottle (old skinny style) hanging under the dash.

Course the heater was gone, and I had to be cognizant of the "clocking" of the bottle to get the siphon tube down and back.

The solenoids were under there as well w/ both feed lines covered in rubber hose.

Granted, the length the nitrous had to travel was about 14" after leaving the solenoid, and was less than optimal ( as was the bottle orientation).
Despite all of the wrong application stuff though, that car ran 6.90's vs/ the 7.80's n/a.

Now I wasn't thinking about "what happens if", (and If I wanted to again, that's where it'd be) but back then, It was zackly what I needed to get the job done.
