Why Boost Is Better Than Nitrous.

I know what you're thinking- "man, another Jalopnik reference... What the hell is wrong with him?"

Hey, it's got a Fox, so it's relevant, right?

We all know kids and pets shouldn't be left in cars on hot summer days, but one Fox Mustang owner in Texas learned the hard way that bottles of horsepower-boosting volatile chemicals should be on that list as well.
According to News 9 in Midland, the recently-purchased 'Stang had a bottle of nitrous oxide in its trunk. The bottle overheated on a late June afternoon and exploded, taking the car with it. The TV station reports that the Mustang was a total loss, which is not surprising given this photo.
Thankfully, no one was injured. Pieces of the car were found as far away as three houses down.

you can put an 1/8NPT plug in that port on the bottle and plug it off.

LOLOLOLOL!

Some people just have no perception of danger. It's like these guys that will weld around flammable materials without a fire extinguisher handy or change the oil with nothing but a jack holding the car up on a sloped driveway.

Use some common sense, people.

I was at Kennedale about 15 years ago and one of my fellow racers was in front of me heating his bottle with a torch. I was a little nervous.

I will admit we use a torch in a pinch but I always keep the flame moving not to create hot spots
