Default Nitro Junkies Come On In!!!!

Quick geustion.I went to a nitro forum, not that impressive.But alot of the guys on there said they leave there bottle open @ the system pressurised for hours on end.Seems like this would be hard on the solenoids.How long do the experts here on the forum leave there bottles open for?

I open the bottle after the burnout and close it on the return road. Forget the hard on the solenoids part. What happens after you turn the car off and the nitrous solenoid leaks and fills the engine with nitrous. Big bang when you go to start the car again.

Open the bottle when you're going to use it, close it afterwards.
