    NO2 fill locations northeast of Pittsburgh?

    Anyone know where I can get my bottle filled? I live up near Pittsburgh Mills Mall area. Sorry if this was covered...I did forum search and did not see anything. Thanks.

    Bower hill runs up beside upper st clair hospital. I usually get off b-ville exit off 79 and catch it from there. I used to just go to Stropes in Washington but they're no longer around.

    Probably closest to you is B&R Speed Supply - 4859 Allegheny River Blvd Verona, PA 15147. If you take the Hulton Bridge across the Allegheny, it's about 3 miles or, on your left, directly after the light at Coal Hollow. If you take the Highland Park Bridge, it will be about 2.5 miles, on your right. Call first to make sure they still do it: 412-795-7022

    Its not bad. Heat the mother bottle and freeze the other. Kinda scared keeping it in the garage having little ones running around . Probably chain it to the wall.

    I bought a bottle stand for the mother bottle to go upside down, freeze my bottles and use a decent bathroom scale. Open the botle and it sucks full, just have to watch not too much to leave headspace in the bottle. I was stunned how easy they siphon filled.

    How much money would you have to invest to get this setup and start doing it yourself?

    Bob are they bringing the mother bottle to your home residence? They want a huge deposit and some other stuff to bring one to my home.

    We got a good deal on the mother bottle, a few 10# bottles and the lines and filter. I bought a NX stand, had a decent scale, and use our big freezed for bottles. not in it much with some carefule purchases.

    The mother bottle I got had enough for me last year and I never got to getting it replaced. We know where the bottle was purchased but it's a little haul, also know of several other suppliers but never actually did it.

    In the end, the nitrous is coming out of my car this winter so it was all a big experiment. With the gearing set-up I've got i'm real happy on boost alone. If I spray the shift light is on before 1000' ... I tried ot a taller tire to see if dropping gear would be viable and the car slowed down on boost only. So i'm stuck to either gear for boost or gear for spray. (This is why I have the like new 27" tires for sale, we tried a taller tire to see how it would respond).

    Before anyone asks, the nitrous stuff I have is spoken for.
