Default Bottle getting too hot....

I was just thinking, my car is going to be sitting at my shop all day in 90+ temps, will the bottle get so hot that it can blow the safty valve?

Unhook the bottle and take it inside with you. Ive heard it is possible to do just that in extreme, extreme heat conditions.

I've had my pressure gauge pegged and then some, but blow off is rated at 3000PSI normal bottle pressure is 1000psi. Could happen if the bottle is overfilled, but normally no, you just have to ice the bottle before you want to use it, so you might be better off leaving it in the garage until you go for a cruise looking for trouble :cheers:
