Default Zex- What the heck?
I was putting my bottle heater back on in preparation for going to the track tomorrow night, but I don't think I'll be spraying tomorrow..... This is now the second track night I'm going to have a bottle in my trunk that will be nothing but extra weight for me.....

Somehow the bottle heater's fitting and the bottle's nozzle got cross threaded. The result-

I wasn't putting much effort into it at all- I didn't try to muscle it or anything stupid like that. I was very careful to line the nozzle up so that it went on straight, even, and smooth. It didn't get cross-threaded until it was almost tight.

Amick- help me out here- what can I do?

Justin

Justin is just the gold fitting cross threaded? If so I can send you one out pretty easily. You have to be very careful with nitrous fittings. These are aluminum fittings and I highly recommend using an AN wrench to tighten them and not a standard. It is very easy to over tighten them and they do not take a lot of pressure to seal.
