Default Emptying NOS bottle

Is there any issues about emptying NOS into air? I do not want to be apart of the environment problem as much as possible.

Make sure and ship ground. Our company is working on getting a fairly sizable fine reduced because our shipping dept overnighted (air) a gallon of floor finish. Floor finish = flammable = $32k fine

I'm sure you can find some locals to pay you to empty it for you. They'll filter it through their lungs so there will be no environmental impact.

Hmm, When changing bottles once I could swear we got red dye on the back seat of our rental car.
BTW you don't want to breathe the automotive Nitrous They add sulphur dioxide to it.

Much different EPA standards between Tx. and Ca. Personally I would run it in the car.

He's right Joe, hold onto it and let ti rip. It will get very cold and its fun to point it at people because it comesout about 100mph freezing cold. Stay at least 5 feet away so not to frostbite. Oh yeh sulfur dioxide is the additive so you cant inhale it.....................................it doesnt work

Tony, I got stuck working on all of the ValueJunk, I mean ValueJet Dc-9's after the oxygen generator fiasco. As soon as the FAA shut them down, they brought about 10-15 DC-9's for us to inspect and repair, all with FAA supervision on-site. WOW!!!!!!!! Those a/c were total junk!!!!!!!!!!!! I wouldn't let my worst enemy fly on one of those. The oxygen generator disaster helped to discover some pretty crappy maintenance.

On topic: Joe, why don't you just fire up the car and empty the bottle via repeated 0-60mph tests!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jim;

I thought you were in the logging business,

I just sent a used fuel pump to Florida. I wonder what type of sensors that will trip?
