Nitrous Refill Costs?
I just called around to some local supply houses for a bottle refill, and am getting quote of around $6.9-$7.5 lb. Seems a little high, no?
I'm located in Northborough,MA. What are the rest of you paying for bottle refills? |
I haven't filled a bottle in a couple years, but last time I filled one was around $5/lb.
|
$4.50-$6.00. I am dropping a bottle off tomorrow to get it filled for the Texas Mile next week. May need to buy a large bottle and do my own refilling.
|
That's what I was thinking....Buying in bulk should put the price per lb, closer to $3, perhaps a little less.
I'm going to check with some gas suppliers about the process and associated costs. On another note I thought I read that you could get away with not needing a pump if you freeze the empty bottle, then the pressure/temp delta between bottles will cause the liquid nitrous to fill the empty bottle? Or should I just man up and buy a pump/scale kit, and then perhaps resell some of my nitrous for a little profit to offset the costs... |
i could be wrong, but im pretty sure a nitrous fill station costs more than a grand to get going. not to mention if you can get it somewhere in bulk
|
I use to own a NX pump and I sold it for $4.50/lb.

You can do the freeze method. I transfered between 2 10lb. bottles last night. I could only get it to transfer 8 lbs. So I will be wasting 2lbs of Nitrous to add the Nano check valve. The larger tanks are under more pressure so that should transfer a little better.

I openend a account with Airgas (welding supply store) here in Dallas and buy the 60 lb. bottle for 89.00 and lease the bottle from them you don't need a refill station if you put the bottle in ice and then gravity fill. Hope this helps.
|
WOW @ the guys paying over $4 / lb! up to $8/LB?!? Down in FL it was $3.75/LB @ Action Performance.. which was concidered " high " to some other places.
But $8, damn.. |
$5 lb in New Orleans....or at least that's the cheapest I've found.
