Default Bottle open or Closed?

Do you guys drive around with the bottle open or closed? Since i have the bottle in the back of the passenger seat its getting kind of annoying to have to put up the seat and start opening.

I know most of you say get a remote bottle opener, but the clerance in there wouldnt allow it.

Leaving 950 PSI of bottle pressure sitting on the solenoids 24/7 is not good for it. Ideally, bottle closed when not using it and then use your purge to release remaining line pressure. I have pushed that on people for 10+ years

The solenoids will fail eventually if you leave pressure on them all the time. You can turn it on at home, then go out for the night if you use it on the street. Just shut off the bottle and purge when you get home A few hours is ok. ON all the time, is not. If your solenoid fails in the open position you'll run the full bottle out through the engine. Ask me how I know...
