Glad I'll never have that problem, soon as I fill my bottles up, they are empty...

Thats scary. That was the only thing I was worried about when I had nitrous in my truck, getting into an accident and the bottle going off like a bomb

if you read the caption it implys he didn't have a burst disc or a blow down tube. Not even sure how you could rig a bottle to not have a burst disc (nobody I know would fill it) but both are required by NHRA regs for a reason. IF that is indeed even what happened in those pics. Worst case scenario if your bottle does over-pressurize it'd just blow out and waste all that goodness

If he had a bottle "pop" on him before he probably put 2 discs stacked thinking it would slow down the burst but in fact it takes the burst pressure from ~2500psi to well over 6000psi obviously much higher than the bottle can take
