    Default Bottle heater

    Looking for a bottle heater without having to sell my left nut. You can post on here what you have but the best way to get a hold of me is my cell. 4174595876

    Yea sure its a bad idea if u leave it in one spot and dont watch the psi. Other wise it works just fine. Alot of very fast teams use em and have been for many years. Iv been using one to heat bottles since 2005 and never blown a bottle up

    There's a reason you are supposed to have nhra blow down, rupture disk and certified bottles. The pic above was someone that bought a old uncertified bottle with a plugged pressure relief port

    Are the electric bottle blankets really that expensive?

    Maple Grove Raceway will actually kick u out if they catch u using a torch. Ive been around guys that have been doing it that way since i got my license.

    The heater I have in my car aint worth a shit. It will kill a battery before the bottle will get hot.

    pre heat the bottle at home before you go out ... put it in a hot bath tub/ shower and then once up to temperature put in in a bottle blanket/jacket to keep it warm .... then once in the car the bottle warmer just keeps the already warm bottle at temp.

    if your battery is a little one like mine .... take a jump box to the track and turn off the warmer if the car is not running. a bottle jacket helps a bunch with keeping it warm!!!
