CO2 bottle used for nitrous???

[pro-rider46]

I was reading on the internet and came across a site saying that i can use a CO2 bottle for a nitrous bottle. They kept metioning using a fire extinguisher bottle, but i wonder if you can use a tank for a paintball gun. can anyone shine in on this.

thanks in advance

Hmm, I've got a 12oz CO2 tank sitting right here on the desk.. If it will work I might have a grenaded bottom end to go along with yours :devil:

A 15 lb bottle on a quad would be HUGE. That's like the size of your gas tank.

A CO2 bottle will hold N2O just fine.

vapor pressure of CO2 @ 70 F = 5865 kPa (850 psi)
vapor pressure of N2O @ 70 F = 5238 kPa (760 psi)

A standard 1200 PSI CO2 bottle will store Nitrous Oxide at room temperature.

However N2O is effected a LOT more by temperature change so it would be very important to keep it away from effects of heat sources such as your engine, exhaust, or direct sunlight.

sweet, i was thinking, i have a good bit of paintball tanks, i could hook up a system fairly cheap now, about 250-300. sweet.

the fittings are different.

I know very little of N2O fittings.

I was excluding any fitting issue, of course.
I was only commenting on the fact that a CO2 tank should be sufficent to store N20 under controlled situations.

i was aware of the fittings issue, but i dont think that it would be to hard to put on the right fittings.
