wheres all my nitrous going

after running nitrous and l valve off the bottle, of course theres still some left in the line, a good amount l'm sure, it still reads full pressure on the gauge until about the next day, its all disipated from the line, is this normal? l've soaped the lines, no bubbles, checked and resealed anything that may be even a possability for a leak, and its still going.... is my sollenoid not closing all the way? nitrous is really expensive and lm tired of loosing it. anyone got any suggestions? could l have a really small leak or something?

thanks

The nitrous solenoid most likely doesn't have a 100% seal (maybe 99.9%). The amount in the lines really isn't that much. Every time you purge, you are basically flushing the line out. Close the valve on the bottle, and don't worry about the lines. Just my thoughts

oh ok, l thought it was quite a bit, but l guess not, aright, l was just wondering if that was normal to lose nitrous like that, l thought maybe there was s defect in my sollenoid.

thanks for the response
