Default Zex questions.

I was lookin at this realtively cheap ZEX plug and play nos with a smart nmu just for kicks. Then on the site there was this list of warnings. None of them I'm concerned about. But it didn't mention anything if you have a system in the trunk. My question is would the vibration of the system cause the tank to leak or blow? And what if they system shorts or the ground comes loose and causes a spark? Should I worry about that or is it not an issue?

System is not an issue. I had a system directly next to my bottle and it had no negative impact at all.

nitrous oxide isent flamable so sparks wouldnt bother it and youd need some serious system to bother a bottle, bearing in mind you can drop these bottles off buildings and put them on fires..... there built to withstand some sevear conditions,

the only problem that i can see is that you need a bottle heater you keep the gas pressure up
