Next questions

1. Is there a special blow off valve that needs to be used with a blowdown tube ? The blow off valve on my tank doesn't have a threaded to to accept the fitting for the blow off tube .

2. The tanks I have is manufactured by Luxfer and has a Sherwood valve . I have seen online that the Sherwood valve will only flow a 100 shot or so . Is this a low flow valve ?

I personally would run the line through the inside of the car where it can't be seen, nitrous is non-flammable and to say it's unsafe makes no sense to me. Pop a line worse case scenario you get high... big deal. What are the odds of the line popping inside the car compared to being under it and exposed to the elements?

Outside of the car is easier IMO. There's nothing wrong with running it on the underside of the car. I ran mine side by side with the fuel lines. You don't even know they are there. Doing so makes it very safe and less likely to be damaged.

Your blow down tube screws right down on top of that. Just stick the burst tab in there and screw on the blow down tube.

Man it's been 2 years since I put it in, I couldn't tell you. Put it this way tho. I have a black car and it sits in the sun in 100 degree southern weather all day at work and it's never burst. I've seen the pressure as high as 1600psi in the bottle.
