New Nitrous Bottle Water Heater

fter many years of loading and unloading my home made Igloo Nitrous Bottle Heater from the truck bed at the track, I finally decided to make a new one that mounts permanently in the trailer. I didn’t have enough room for the bigger igloo setup so this narrower aluminum one will be really nice to have. Kurt Riffle from Riffle Motorsports had an old tank he had laying around since he used to run Nitrous and I talked him into modifying it a little for what I was wanting to do. He added some additional drain bungs, and a pad to mount a snap action safety temperature switch to the side.
