Yeah... you could purge that bottle in a half night of fun. I bet it costs $20 to $40 to fill it also. LOL

RE: WHAT ARE PURGE SYSTEMS FOR??

y'all are right except for one minor detail, you aren't removing air from the lines when you purge, you removing gaseous N2O so that liquid N2O will be filling the lines so that when the solenoid opens, the liquid N2O flows immediately past the valve and "flashes" to the gas which provide both the cooling effect and the extra oxygen to the fuel/air mixture. AND before you start arguing, think about how in the hell air could overcome the high, 800-900 psi pressure, in the nitrous system and get into it from outside it. the bottle is full of liquid N2O, not a mixture of air and nitrous!
