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.saw this before on jalopnik really sucks!! where do they sell bottles without blow off discs? unless it was faulty that shouldnt happen
