And it went BANG
No, not the Bird engine. lol
Went to get a couple of new bottle's filled today. Refill guy has a machine shop and a large gooseneck trailer. He sets up on the mfg midway at races and sells stuff. Fittings, plug wires, starters, etc. He also has a nitrous pump station mounted in the trailer.
Got the first bottle filled, then the second bottle. Just finished with it and he is loosening the braided line to the bottle when the line EXPLODES. It just ballooned and blew up where the end was crimped on at the pump end of the line. It was louder than a shotgun blast when it blew. Made it worse inside the enclosed trailer. 3 ft of braided line whipping around, sliced a bottle of octane boost on the shelf clean through. Emptied 9 lbs out of the bottle in just a couple seconds.
Luckily he or I didn't get hurt. Just his pride and a foam cooler that I crushed jumping out of the way. Didn't even have time to crap my pants it happened so fast.
Put a new line on, wiped up all the spilled octane boost and refilled the bottle. Took forever to get that last pound in though as the bottle was hot by that time.
