Bottle Angle???

Would it make a noticable diff if my bottle is mounted at a slight angle or if it's flat??? Is there a diff at all?? Lemme know..

Thanx.

the bottle is designed to lay at the angle the brackets are made. the siphon tube is set to that angle. so it siphons all the nitrous out of the bottle. if it where straight down it would only pick up only some of the nitrous. so yes the bottle must be mounted at an angle.

I sprayed with my bottle laying horrizontal, with no angle, and it sprayed just fine..I mean, it worked, I just wanted to know if it was going to make any diff if it were at an angle....

yes, it makes a difference.. not in HP, but in the ability for the line to be able to pick up ALL of the nitrous.. when its on its side, in theory at least, the nitrous doesnt settle at the bottom of the tank where the line is.. but, thats in theory.. and you know how often NOS is wrong in making their directions

Angle/horizontal is best but you can mount it verticaly. Turn the bottle so that the decal points toward the front of the car and what would be the down pointing side in a horizontal mount is pointing towards the back of the car.
