Default How safe is nitrous (not talkin about engine)

How safe is n2O from leaks/explosion/etc. If I go the n2O route, I'd be more concerned with m life, than engine life

I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I'd like to hear what you all think.

N20 isn't flammable. If it leaks it will just stink in your car because of the sulfur smell they add to it.

I figured it was safe.

Since the tank is under pressure, it would prolly be pretty nasty if it were ever punctured...or is it a low pressure gas?

It is possible that if the tank overheated and blew up right next to you, that you could possibly be killed. There is a picture somewhere on this board that shows a guys car and garage blown up because he left the bottle heater on. His car was torn to pieces.

Did you guys not watch the Fast and the Furious when Vin Diesel yells "NOS!!!!" and the car blows up and it's engulfed in flames???

Nitrous is extremely dangerous according to FF.

LOL!!!
