Teflon Paste for Nitrous gauge.

[BuiltforSin]

Should I use teflon paste on my nitrous bottle pressure gauge? I think I would be good just tightening it really tight since it's just like tightening the line on there, but I heard it's good to use teflon paste. A quick answer would be good, because track is tomorrow. Thanks! I just want to be safe, and not inhale nitrous all night.

I mean I dont think it'll kill you, but it can irritate your respiratory system. Mostly cause the sulfur mix.

says not to use teflon tape. says it can break loose and lodge in the lines or plug the nitrous system filter element.

paste is actually better than tape.. just keep it on the last couple holes because you dont want to get the paste IN the line..

Diagram for you:

%100 correct

actually thinking about it again on YOUR setup the threads are probably on the gauge.. but its the same idea..

 

[FRODO]

Yeah teflon tape shouldnt be used on cars pretty much anywhere for that fact...
