Issues with running two bottles?

All - I'm thinking about getting a dual mounting bracket from Jegs and another TNT bottle (first TNT not yet installed). Does anyone have a setup similar to this? Any problems with running two bottles? Is there some sort of switch that will automatically kick over to the other bottle when the first one is getting low? TIA! :)

I would think the best thing to do would be to T them together and run both at the same time. Less pressure loss on long runs and the end result would be the same...you would get the full use of both bottles..

bet it would be cheaper for a t than something that switched over to the other bottle too.

Yeah just T them off and run them both in parallel. It would be just like having a 20# bottle.

I asked NOS,www.holley.com, this question several years ago. I think they told me that you only get 10lbs out of the two bottles. Something about the two bottle pressures pushing against each other. I'll call NOS tech(714.596.0592) at 8PST and see what they say.
