Default Do you leave your N20 bottle open all day?

A freind told me I could just open up the bottle and drive around all day with no problem.. this seems more feasible to me than driving around with the bottle closed and then encountering a potential race, with a closed bottle ... I've been leaving it open throughout the day on the weekends...

What about you guys? Do you leave it open? If so for how long?

Potential damage?

the only problem there is all the pressure you are keeping on the selionods

I've been doing it that way for 2 years now, and everything works fine. Theoretically it puts a little pressure on the solenoids, but nothing to be worried about IMO.

Yeah, the pressure on the solenoids seem to be what takes the brunt of the pressure...

Mrstang-> You leave it on all day or all weekend?

all day is ok for 2-3 days at a time. rebuild the n2o selonoid every other year for added protection and don't sweat it. it's about $50 bux
