Another thing to remember is this guys. Most of us have 4th gens in here. If you fill your bottle up it's at 1000psi or a little more. If you leave it in the hatch area out in the sun, it will go wayyyyyyyyyyy up. There was a post a guy made on ls1tech, where he said his would go up to around 1500psi after being out in the sun all day. Not sure on this claim but it does make sense. Our cars are big greenhouses out back. I wouldn't want to spike a bottle to 1500psi if it had been heated with a torch, ever.

A man I'm proud to have known lost his life last year due to a nitrous bottle exploding when he picked it up at an ADRL race. His son in law was the driver and he was a crew member and part owner of the team, he picked up the bottle from the warmer inside the trailer and it exploded. This was a "profosinal" race setup where strict safety rules are in place and accidencts can still happen. Please remember the valve isn't a handle!
