When you use it, it gets cold(from what I hear)
The bottle does get slightly colder when the n2o is released but not so much that a cop could tell if it has been used recently or not, besides if want get the most out of a nitrious system, you use a bottle heater

yah hiding it in the ash tray sounds good but i have a switch panel for the nitrouse and the purge that is made to fit in there so no one can see the switches...any other ideas on where i can hide the guage

do you have a center console with a small compartment? I would put it in there, or in the glove box. Its not like the fuel pressure or oil gauge where you want to look at it during the run, I just check mine at the begining of the pass to make sure I have enough bottle pressure.

One is probably for the engine fuel pump pressure and the other is for the secondary fuel pump that supplies the extra fuel that comes on when he hits the button for the nitrous. big hits of nitrous requires you to have two fuel pumps to be safe.
