WOW! That would suck... what would you tell the insurance companies with that?? I thought all Compressed stuff had Blow off valves to prevent this sort of thing.
So these things would basically explode if you were driving and got rear ended by someone?

1 in a million chance.
i dont leave my bottle in my car when it's a hot day.
even if the valve dident work, it would take 300* +++ to do that.
my only thinking is that he left the bottle heater on, and its the type that wont cut off at a certain temp, so it just kept heating up, and heating up.

Well my mind's made up. I was going with nitrous and once again that is probally a very rare occurance with the car exploding like that but I see that it can happen. Having a wife and three girls I'm not going to chance it. Guess I'll be getting 410's and a bigger TB.
