It is stored as a “gas over a liquid” which means that both liquid and gaseous nitrous oxide is delivered into your engine. It is 36% oxygen by weight, which is what produces the added horsepower. By injecting more oxygen (and a corresponding fuel signal), we create the additional power much like a supercharger or a turbocharger does. Nitrous Oxide is considered an “oxidizer” and not a

þSafety Tips for the Refill Station 1. Always chain your “mother” bottle securely to a wall or solid work station to protect the bottle from falling. 2. Place the station away from high foot traffic area. This will prevent exposure to residual nitrous oxide va- pors and tripping dangers associated with the “mother” bottle stand. 3. Positively mount the pump to a solid work surface. Do not attempt to fill nitrous bottles without mounting the pump. The pumping process is cyclical an
