Nitrous question....

Ok here's the question....What is the difference between medical grade nitrous and automotive grade nitrous? Besides the fact there is sulfur in auto grade n20, Is the sulfur added to deter human consumption or does it serve a purpose? The reason I ask is because I got the bottle filled today and it was filled with medical grade n20 instead of normal...He said it was better because it had no sulfur....He is an authorized n20 dealer....should I worry about adverse affects on the motor or everything fine?....

Thanks,
-^Brian

You should be ok.
The medical grade just gets pickier handling.
The sulfer stuff is also there to give a "smelly" indicator of leaks.
