After almost 4 months of having my nitrous bottle sitting in my garage, today i decided to put it in my car and empty out the bottle since I only had less than 3lbs of nitrous left. So i put it in the trunk turn it on and test it out, when i squeezed the button i felt it kick in for like a second and after that it just died out, i hardly felt anything. So i try it again and the same thing happens, the nitrous is just not kicking in.... at the same time when i squeeze the button i get this very strong smell of fuel in the car.... i checked all the connections and everything seems tight but the gas smell is just there, i cant seem to find a leak.... what could be the problem?? the last time squeezed the nitrous kicked ***, but now it sucks.. i just want to get it back to normal. I have the Fuel pressure regulator at 42psi, 15 degree timing, 60 shot, dohc ZC. Please help me!!!!

 

get your bottle refilled

 

its lack of nitrous , your obviously gonna smell the fuel becuase thats the only thing spraying .

 

in essence ur probably just sprayn air.., plus the addition of fuel...thats why ur chocking.
r.

 

cold bottle = low bottle pressure.

Why there are bottle heaters made.

 

Thanks for the info... one more question tho... before when i had about 7 lbs of nitrous in the bottle i started to smell gas when i sprayed nitrous... what could be the reason behind that??
thanks

 

are ur fuel lines leakn at the T or solenoid?

 

i dont think so... thats the first place i checked...

 

Also check your plugs. I remember when i had juice i didn't use mine for a month or so and when i decided to use it the weather had changed form the last time and my plugs fouled out. that's the first and last time i had a problem with juice. I would use old nitrous that even a month old. Nitrous can stale up.
