Cost to Refill Nitrous Bottle
Sorry for the mega-newbie question... I tried searching the site and couldn't find an answer. What is the price range to refill a nitrious bottle? (Say, the ZEX size bottle). I understand actual use might be about 3 minutes on that bottle for a 2.2 engine.
Also, can I leave the bottle "on" all of the time and just purge before each use? Or do I NEED to buy the remote valve to open it and close it after each use? (Sounds like a pain in the arse if I do).
Thanks,
Thomas

$4 a pound here.
Dont know about the opening issue. I know the extreme bottle pressures that they run will tend to leak very easy. I think the opening/closing of the bottle is to minimize leakage.
The purging is to rid the system of "stale" gas.

I pay $4.00 per pound.
The Zex bottle is 10 lbs.
Don't leave the bottle open; the N2O will leak out. I just open the bottle each time I'm out cruising (looking for a race--which is about everytime I get in the car). I may get the remote bottle opener, but haven't decided ($$$ is going elsewhere right now).

Budget
Great information, thanks!
What is your budget per month, do you go through 10 lbs a month? 5 lbs?
(Trying *very* hard to talk myself OUT of NO2... losing the battle thus far...)

Dustbuster your crazy. I don't use that much nitrous in a year and its so much cheaper to fill up a bottle here.
Thomasio to answer your question it cost $25 in Miami to fill up a 10 lbs. bottle which is how much nitrous the zex bottle holds.
