Can anyone add any info to this: likely cause, how frequently this occurs?
After hearing of Ken Welters Coot experiences, nitrous was in my plan.
Thanks

Peter,
 I sent this on to several friends. One of them (who owns a Hi Performance auto
repair shop) replied.

"Hi Charlie
 They use heaters on the Nos bottles in these cars. This Genius decided to
bypass the preset temp control an put constant 12v to the blanket,More is
Better. Right!"

He also stated that the NHRA has banned Nitrous oxide because of incidents like
that one.
