I thought it just encouraged the fuel to burn faster and more violently???? the gas itself is not flammable at all ---------- Post added 15-06-10 at 21:01 ---------- I was right Nitrous Oxide Systems) allows the engine to burn more fuel and air, resulting in a more powerful combustion.

Yeah i meant when mixed with fuel which is obvious its caused by a wet kit only. when fuel gets antomized with nitrous oxide sometimes the fuel falls out of the mixture. this happens because fuel is more dense then air mixed together.think of fuel holding onto air but falling out of place because its to heavy to move.

Internal combustion engine Main article: Nitrous In vehicle racing, nitrous oxide (often referred to as just "nitrous" or as NOS after the name of the brand Nitrous Oxide Systems) allows the engine to burn more fuel and air, resulting in a more powerful combustion. The gas itself is not flammable, but it delivers more oxygen than atmospheric air by breaking down at elevated temperatures. Nitrous oxide is stored as a compressed liquid; the evaporation and expansion of liquid nitrous oxide in the intake manifold causes a large drop in intake charge temperature, resulting in a denser charge, further allowing more air/fuel mixture to enter the cylinder. Nitrous oxide is sometimes injected into (or prior to) the intake manifold, whereas other systems directly inject right before the cylinder (direct port injection) to increase power ---------- Post added 15-06-10 at 21:55 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by SIKVLT [View Post] Fast and furious tells me it is http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...2062713AAhgrHS (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090212062713AAhgrHS) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
