note to self: don't leave refrigerant cans in a hot car

[BP]

Where are the pics of that guy's car that exploded when he went to bed with the nitrous bottle heater on? If I remember right the dude left the heater on and the pop off valve didn't work. It was a maxima and it looked like someone set off a stick of dynamite in the trunk.

He never would let NX do their own testing on the bottle. The guy installed a blow down tube and probably left the existing burst disk in place and stacked the blow down tube's on top of it.

Those valves work, I mean it's a copper disk. There isn't anything that can really go wrong with them other than having a thickness out of spec or someone stacking them.

Damn Chris, that is a hell of a unique way to total a truck.

Lol you would think but the insurance actually fixed that thing!

That's nothing.

I left a 2.5lb co2 bottle in the back seat of my truck (half full) on a 90 degree day. Well it reached the maximum pressure that the bottle could take and for whatever reason the pressure release didn't work and the bottle blew into 3 pieces. It blew out the rear side window(landed about 40 ft away, tint was all that was holding it together), blew the windsheild out, blew the 2 front doors and 1 rear door out, shredded the rear seat where the bottle was at, knocked a hole in the floor pan, and blew the roof up about 4 inches. It was about 17k in damage, the insurance guy was like "wait, what did you say happened?" but they covered it.

damn

Twice! Both times were for 16-17k each.

Does that wink mean he's taken you for a ride in it? Without Brooks? :wink1:

No that's not what that means at all. Im not like the rest of the dick suckers on here, I would never do anything like that with a friends GF/Wife.

Yeah what he said, I wonder how hot it actually got in you car?

I put it in there the night before when I left the track, I was going to get it filled the next day on my way home from work.
