Anyone know what the laws are in MD? I remembered someone saying to me at a cruise in that if you get caught with a hooked-up nitrous system on the street it's a huge fine. Is that true? Anyone running nitrous on their street vehicle in MD?

 

one I have no idea how they would catch you. i mean if you were pulled over they cant force you to pop the hood. personally a buddy of mine purged at a light next to a cop with no problem. anyway the only state that would have a law like that is CA, i think. unless it is new... really new

 

Here's your answer, from The Maryland Vehicle Law Annotated.....


§22–404.5. Power booster systems prohibited; exceptions.

(a) In this section, “power booster system” means any device installed in a motor vehicle which allows liquid nitrous oxide to combine with gasoline for the purpose of increasing engine power.
(b) Except as provided in subsection (c) of this section, a person may not operate on a highway a motor vehicle equipped with a power booster system.
(c) A person may operate on a highway a motor vehicle equipped with a power booster if:
(1) The vehicle is enroute to or from a track where the vehicle is used for racing and the power booster system is inoperative; or
(2) The container of nitrous oxide has been removed from the vehicle.
(d) Every motor vehicle equipped with a power booster system shall be identified with a decal that:
(1) Is a diamond shaped design consisting of the words “Compressed Gas D.O.T. No. 1070” in silver scotchlite letters 1 inch high on a black background with a silver scotchlite border;
(2) Is issued by the Office of the Fire Marshal or from a nitrous oxide industry source; and
(3) Is attached to the left front and right rear bumper of the vehicle.
(e) The Office of the Fire Marshal may adopt regulations necessary to carry out the provisions of this section.
(f) The Office of the Fire Marshal or nitrous oxide industry source that issues the vehicle identification decal may charge a fee for the issuance of a vehicle identification decal not to exceed the reasonable cost of preparation and distribution.

Will you get caught....probably not. There are usually much more serious incidents occurring. I do know of an incident where someone was charged for it, but it was at the scene of a collision, where the lines and solenoids were exposed from the damage.

as for the other question.....

Fine.....$290.00 and 5 points

 

Thanks man. That's exactly what I was looking for. How do they deal with motorcycles, I wonder? I'm working on spraying a CB750 chopper this winter and it's a lot harder to hide bottles and solenoids on a bike.

 

How much of a bottle would you need on an bike?

How about under the oil tank side cover?

Lines could be hidden fairly easily either inside the frame or alongside the rails
