Default Nitrous System Maintainence

I will be getting my wet kit soon but since I am NEW to this side of performance I have close to a million questions in my head. One of them is the above title. I've heard the same is VERY important to ensure no issues but I have yet to find any topic on the net on how it is done.One of the issues I've read about is the Nitrous solenoid sticking open due to prolonged exposure to fuel fumes in a wet system ? The same supposedly increases wear. Anyone hear oF this problem ? Any other problems I should be aware of ? Tips etc ?

Thanks

I don't know of anyone who encountered a problem like that ......Nitrous Express offers a nice plan , You can send in Your solenoids to be looked at and tested ....Turn around is 3-4 Days and if a part needs to be replaced they will replace it free of charge (Lifetime warranty)...You only pay Freight This is very beneficial especially when a Nitrous Controller 9more wear on solenoids-pulsing) is being used.

you should check the solenoids after each trackday as a good rule. If they are clicking loud you are in good shape.

The nitrous one is easy to check. Just keep the bottle closed with the car on accessory and activate the system and you will hear it click. For the fuel one you would have to disconnect the feed line from the fogger. so you dont shoot fuel into mainifold. You can empty this into a 2 liter bottle or so. This is a 2 person procedure. So get a friend.

Use good filters. I like to pull my noids apart once a year to give them a once over and clean them up, piece of mind. I did have one n2o noid stick open from contaminates, never again I hope.
