Topic: wiring for nitrous bottle heater (Read 266 times)

installing my NX bottle heater and in the wiring diagram they dont show a inline fuse to be installed anywhere. It pulls voltage from the battery then runs it through a relay. Does the relay act as a fuse? I guess the relay will break the connection, if i have a short, and keep the car from burning to the ground  Their tech line isnt open today and of course i'm impatient and want to get this thing going on my day off so i can test it out. Any input is appreciated! |

Don't worry about the fuse - just wire in the relay and you'll be fine.

I have to ask. Why wouldn't you want to protect a circuit that is in direct contact with a NOS bottle. A relay can fuse shut and if that is whats being used to trigger the Hot circuit to the heater you may have a problem thinking its off when its not. Dosen't seem like a problem until you overheat the bottle. At least you may have a chance with the fuse blowing if any problems should happen with the relay.

the bottle heater is actually turned off and on by a pressure sensitive thermostat, so once i flip my toggle switch on i can forget about the bottle heater and worry about other things
