Hot day, nitrous cylinder, not a good ending. From CJ Pony Parts on Facebook ........
"It’s a bad idea to leave your nitrous bottle in your #Mustang on a hot day.
If the pressure relief valve fails..... boom! "
I have seen similar results from other gas cylinders left in vehicles, so moral of story is leave no explosive cylinders in confined locations .......

That includes pressure pack cans. They can do a bit of damage too especially if they are paint cans.

Agree John, they all kept the name alive & were right for their time, the sales numbers tell you that.
Actually the Fox body was my favourite shape after the 70 model, the latest ones look tough & drive nice, but I will wait & see what is still being raced in years to come ......

Agree - had one explode in my garage last summer - walked in and thought it had been broken into - stuff everywhere. Then saw the big streak of black paint up the wall and onto the roof. Thankfully the car wasn't in there!
