What do you guys do to keep bottle pressure down when the weather is hot?
I checked my pressure guage today it was 1300 psi. Other than takeing the bottle out what can I do?

Hmm.. I just take the bottle out in my car. TTT for you though. Would a bottle blanket serve a dual purpose. Keep it hot in the winter and cooler in the summer??

I might try covering it. might work. The bottle is full so with the warm weather here in florida the pressure rises vedry fast.

There really isn't anything you can do except removing the bottle from the car. The only way to cool it down fast is to purge it.

yea nice purge if you have to use it in a jiffy. I did see someone posting a nx cooling/heating system. Maybe a search

If u do not have a purge system on ur car and u can't take the bottle out, just simply throw a ice cold watered towel over it and it'll bring the pressure down.

And yes a bottle blanket serves as a dual purpose for heating / cooling to a certain extent, but the new Fire and Ice product out by NX should solve all of these issues.

PS... I'm in south Louisiana and i know what ur FL weather is all about.

PSS.. Make sure the bottle isn't overfilled (11# in a 10 / 16# in a 15#) in the summer time also. This will help with keeping the bottle pressure at the desired specs.

Study Charles/Gay-Lussacs law in regards to Physics and it may help you understand a little more.

keep an ice chest in the back seat and store your bottle in that;) just a thought
