nitrous oxide is not even flammable. All it does is release its oxygen under pressure to increase the pressure in the cylinder requiring more fuel.
As long as it is stored properly in a good tank just as any other gas stored under pressure it is safe. if the tank is bad or gets ruptured that is when you have an explosion. This explosion is not a fire explosion it is a rapid release of high pressure.

DING DING DING! We have a winner! You know your stuff!

Nitrous Oxide - UN1070 - Hazard Class of 2.2 (Non-Flammable Gas) and a subsidiary risk of 5.1 (Oxidizer)

Sorry, I got excited. The transportation of hazardous materials are something I am extremely passionate about.

It's just a job, but I will say I am one of the best in my field (most things I am humble about but not that - even though it is just a job)

Babybenz! - PLEASE get that carbon fibre coating on there so we don't have to hear anymore bathroom jokes. PS - I'll bring you a 2.2 label for you bottle next time I'm down that way .

You are, of course, going to hook up the nitrous solenoid to a switch on the button bank, right?
