NOS storage

Is it ok to leave the bottle in the car over the winter? or will it freeze?

n2o is already -127* or something very close to that. I don't think you'd have to worry about it. But why not bring it in?

I believe the psi in the bottle will drop when it gets cold. Get a bottle heater and you shouldnt have any problems, unless youre storing it then I'd just take it out. I dont think youd be using nitrous in winter time anyways so yeah that too.

low temps means low bottle pressure unless u have a heater, which will net u like no gains without the bottle at the correct temperature, and if your storing it i would say room temp should be sufficient

So leaving the bottle in an unheated garage in the wintertime will not "hurt" the bottle, right?

Just don't ever accidentally let it get too close to a space heater.
