Nitrous Bottle Storage Requirements?
Just had a quick question with regards to bottle storage.. i got a full 10lb bottle. Where can i store this since I wont be keeping it in my car in the winter? Would it be fine in my house under the bed? or are they dangerous? Should i keep it outside in garage or shed or down in the basement?

is air dangerous?
nitrous is just very dense air. it wont explode in green flames like on fast and furious.
if you got it filled from a reputable place it probably has a bit of added chemicals so if it leaks itll smell like sulfur. Store it upright in a place that it cant fall down from (so you dont risk the valve popping off)

If you store it outside in the cold, you'll lose bottle pressure real fast too. So there's no worries of Dom Toretto screaming NAAAAAZZZZZZ and it exploding Eclipse style.
