Where to hide nitrous bottle?

[2005LLY]

Post up pics where you guys put your nitrous bottles!! I can't seem to think of any sneaky spots to put mine..

I use to have mine installed in the center counsel. It was a little tight but it worked.

I am mounted in the bed right now, but I think I'm going to investigate what I have for room under the rear seats or possibly behind them. Hopefully some people have some good ideas here.

I also have mine in the bed. Been throwing around the idea of mounting it under the seat though but still haven't made the decision yet.

Mine is in a rubbermade style toolbox in the bed- the kind that you would use to put your tie downs and misc. tools in. Nobody ever suspects a thing....and sneaky tricks are the norm here in Detroit where steet racing is huge.

I made a bracket that put it under the bed, passenger side, in front of the rear tires. Safe, legal, and hard to spot.

This was on Big Blue though about 9 years ago. Blue is a Long Bed.

Mines under the back seat, Wisconsinhick could you put pics up of it in the center consoul? I'd love to see how you did it!! What size bottle? I've got a 10lb zex bottle

Remember for safety: Have the blowout plumbed to outside the cab. While rare, we had a nitrous bottle blow the diaphram while it was stored in the shell on the truck. Scared the crap out of us, but could have been really dangerous (asphxiation)

Bed with bedcover where the spare tire sits?

Mines only in my truck while I'm at the track. But anything could happen I suppose!

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of it being hidden...? Idk about your track it could be different but at mine if you have NOS you have to right it on your window for safety

If it blows the diaphram while you are in the truck, hold your breath and get to the shoulder quickly, and door open fast. It will only takes seconds to remove the oxygen in the cab. One deep breath, and you're unconscious.

That's freaky... If it's in your bed and it blows are you safe though?

Not if your laying in your bed with the tonneau cover on.

It'd be no proble. It would only be an issue in the cab with the windows up.

I always thpught about putting mine in a fake subwoofer box under the seat.

Yes, anywhere outside the cab is safe. Nitrous is not flammable, but breathing it can kill you.

There is a thin wafer (diaphram) that bursts when the pressure gets too high. This happens if you leave the bottle heater on, or have it in direct sunlight. White is the best bottle color. However, they have burst before at normal pressures, which is what happened to us. The DA was really high (11,000') which makes the diaphram easier to blow.

So when you mount it in a cab, you put a line on the safety port, then plumb it outside (floor).

Mine was under the back passenger side seat and fit perfect, but put it in the bed for now.
