NITROUS OXIDE ( nos / n2o ) advice forum

Hi

I keep thinking about a filling station but I dont want to spend hundreds....

I cannot find the WON one on main site...anyone know how much they are ?

Also as I do not have an air compressor anymore are they electric ?

All the best Brett

Pump stations are £459 and you need a compressor.

any particular spec of compressor?? at the moment im only using a baby 3hp 50litre single pump

I think thy require a minimum of 5cfm but the bigger the better/quicker they work.

hi i am hopeing someone can help, I am really struggling to find a nos refiller in birmingham. Does anyone know of a company in Birmingham that does nos refills?

Thanks

Keith

Have you checked the agents page on our web site?

ah my bad , thank you very much for your help

Having had a few nightmares finding refills and sometimes not getting full bottles im considering investing in renting an 88lb bottle and buying a pump and compressor.
I wouldnt save any money on the gas but it would save me time and hassle.
I am thinking of also filling other peoples bottles in South Cumbria as there is nowhere near that does it.
Would there also be an interest for people to get refills off me at the strip (mainly York) or does somebody already do this?

Hi

In order....lol

Its an 82 lb big bottle From Nitrous Oxide supplies....reasonable money...It will save you money as its about half the retail cost...

The pump and compressor are SERIOUS MONEY



All strips usually have someone who sells Nitrous...

Hope this helps

All the best Brett

York only rarely has someone there with a supply these days.
I was quoted £243 + 94 + 18 for the gas and a years bottle hire and delivery = £355.
This equates to about £4.30 / lb with 7 fills/year.
Substantial savings would only be made if i could supply enough people to warrant 3 or 4 bottles per annum.
A second hand compressor can be picked up for a fair price but as you say the pump is the stinger.

Barrow in furness is a bit out on a limb, but i'd be interested in bottle fills at York

I don't get chance to that many rwyb's over a year but i've never seen anyone doing n20 fills at york so that would be very handy for quite a few people i would think

I managed without a pump for the best part of 25 years, because it's no problem in most circumstances to fill by gravity feed.

AUTO XTREME POWER keeps going to voicemail after a few rings

DAYTUM PERFORMANCE is now borough parking enforcement, been so for about a year now!

DYNO SPEED DEVS dont do refills anymore..

im still trying to find somewhere within a reasonable distance to me for refills as 25miles to totd is a bit ott and id rather just use them as my last alternative.

found another place close to north london
going today to get it filled, will find out full address and company name

Not sure gav but i think that maybe customvill a yank car shop just down road from me and they would not fill my won bottle as they could not be botthered to fit an adaptor onto end of there pipe they use for yank bottles so i would call them before ya travel there

Banjax motorcycle will fill ya bottle they are in east london Nice lads but im not sure they open on sat but maybe worth giving them a call

drac, your right mate, i had to order the adaptor from antony this week
dont understand why they dont get one for themselves, will have a word with them today lol
they also close 3pm saturday which is ideal for me as i work all week and half day saturday
thanks
gav

Yes i now carry adaptor with me under bike seat , very handy as can then get refills anywhere and at track side if needed

Think this adaptor should be added to the shop save a lot of time when ya walk into a shop with the fitting in place and say please fill

resons a lot of shops dont carry the adaptors is they sulk all time as WON is the better kit and they make shit loads more money selling the usa crap

I'm starting to wonder if it isn't easier to drive up to doncaster for fill up. went to an agent on friday(listed here) in solihull, took all day and 2 visits to sort as they'd lent someone their pump, then they could only fit 7lbs in 11lb bottle and it gets better! you won't believe the price..... £7 perlb. it would have been cheaper and easier to drive up to WON and they can fill part full bottles no prob.

Nige

yes gas Unlike WON who dont take piss not just Won refillers if they think ya in need they will rip ya a new arse , i got to know my refiller now down to £5 lbs lol due to fact i bulk buy in season and use about one of there big bottles in a few months

Hi all.

My name is murray and have recently had a WON kit fitted to my MG ZS. Am very new to the nitrous scene but this site looks like it's going to educate me.

The reason i've posted on this thread first is really for the attention of Brett seeing as he's based in Dorset. I am currently posted in Lulworth with the armed forces and am looking for somewhere to get my bottles refilled nearby and with him being in Bournmouth just down the road i thought it would be ideal.

Anyway if theres anywhere else available if you can't do Brett then that would be great.

Also is there anywhere to post pics of peoples cars.

Cheers murray

Hi All

Murray just rang me and is on the way for a fill up....

I told him about Debbie, so maybe she can advise him on his car and system....assuming hes brave enough to talk to her lol

All the best Brett

cool brett i forgot ya did refills my new job takes me all over south coast , will pop in after xmas as i have 1 11lb botle 1 2.5lb botlle and 2 20oz bottles that need filling

Hi

No problem, I will fill them all, just give me a ring in advance if you can...

All the best Brett

Hi All

Interesting evening to say the least lol...

Murray arrived to fill his WON 11 lb bottle.....

Started filling it and went to move the bottle on the scales and didn't realise quite how sharp an angle that was forcing the 82 lb bottle end into.....roughly 90 degrees lol....

Huge bang and as BOTH valves were open on his 11 lb bottle and my 82 lb bottle....

Garage fills with gas in a huge amount of white Nitrous vapour....

We had both dived out side...but I suddenly realised that I was about to lose a full 82 lb bottle...

So I put back on my Snap-On gloves, took a deep breath and dived back in....

Found both valves and turned them off, although that wants quite as easy as it sounds as I could see absolutely nothing...

Nitrous cleared quickly and found the 90 degree broken pipe...then found I had no olives in 5 mm...all at work I think...

So lent Murray one of my spare 11 lb bottles that was already full and off he went...happily I hope.....

As I said it was an interesting evening lol.....

So tomorrow I will be making a new pipe in 5 mm with my trusty WON pipe cutter and new 5 mm olives and new pipe

I would guess I lost maybe 10 to 20 lbs from my big bottle, but thats better then 82 ...

All the best Brett

blimey that sounds dangerous..

can you take a piccy of what failed....

i was half thinking of buying a big bottle next season...mm ... i might not..
