Default Bottle heater question.

When using a bottle heater how long does it take to get the bottle up to proper pressure assuming temp inside the car is 70 degrees?

about 15-20 minutes. I turn it on the way to the track, with a full bottle you should have 900 lbs or so before the heater.

How long would it be safe to keep the bottle heated?

What is the best pressure activated heater to use?

For the track I'm not worried about warm up time, but around the street it would be nice to have it ready and willing.

you wont know your bottle pressure, unless you have a pressure guage some where up front. You wont know the bottle pressure unless you open the bottle. So unless you keep you bottle open while you are cruising around, big waste, since some N20 will leak out through the solenoid, I would just keep the bottle full and open it when needed.
