Well at SEMA I saw something interesting made by a company called NANO, basically they pressurise the nitrous bottle with a second bottle with high pressure air. So the nos pressure is constant and no need for a bottle blanket, also it keep the pressure constant during a run.:) Could be the answer to a few problems

never heard of using air. there's plenty info about a nitrogen push system that people use.

Push systems have been around for a long time and just like regulators there is a reason they have never taken off. There are a couple of problems I see with them. First they aren't allowed in a lot of classes. Second you still want to maintain a consistent bottle temperature because as the temp goes up the density goes down. Normally this isn't an issue because the heat and pressure are tied together, but when you artificially raise the bottle pressure through a push system of any kind you artificially raise the pressure while density stays relatively the same. This can have an adverse affect on your tune up. And third when you introduce nitrogen to the nitrous bottle it will dilute the bottle requiring you to completely empty the bottle for best results when filling. It is generally easier to add a second bottle to help fight pressure drop than it is to do a push set up. If you do require a push system for some reason a sealed bladder inside the bottle or a purpose built accumulator I feel would be a better option.

This company is looking to use compressed air so it should not be a problem when it comes to refills. I was thinking that combining this system and a bottle heater would save the problem of having to run 2 bottles together.
