haha i agree it sounds cheap, and i aint doing it, but whats the difference in the tanks, they are both fiber wrapped or aluminum right, they both have regulators you can probably change out, the only difference i see is size

Besides the fact that the entire design of both tanks is completely different, as well as the gas that goes into them...ya, won't work.

I think what OP means is.. not the fact that he will use a C02 or really small n20 can, but the fact that they are built in the same fashion real n20 cans are, they are just smaller - therefore in theory you could use it, but probably not on a car. A bike would be more fit for a smaller can.

theoretically yeah you could use it, but whether it'll hold up to the coldness of nitrous, and that you'll get it filled at the right place, present some obstacles that make me want to just say no.

there are kits with smaller bottles that you can buy though. That amount of nitrous would only last about 10 seconds you realize, if that
