Nitrous Oxide Tank Explodes Inside Vehicle in Midland - KWES NewsWest 9 / Midland, Odessa, Big Spring, TX: newswest9.com |


Staff Report
NewsWest 9

MIDLAND - The summer heat is not only taking a toll on our electricity. It also took a toll on someone's prized possession.

A Midland neighborhood was shook up on Wednesday afternoon when a Mustang was blown apart.

The Fire Marshal tells NewsWest 9, the owner had nitrous oxide hooked up and the heat caused the bottled gas to blow.

The car was ripped apart.

We're told the front windshield blew onto the roof and pieces of the vehicle could be found three houses down.

The recently bought vehicle is a total loss.

Fortunately, no one was hurt.

The blow off failsafe opens at 3000psi. This idiot probably fucked with the pressure failsafe valve and left the bottle in the car in the sun or left the bottle heater on.

Good thing nobody was hurt and really its just body damage.. Time to backhalf that car.

This is exactly what I was thinking. He either fucked with the burst disc, or did a "smart guy mod" and previously had the bottle powdercoated, thus annealing the metal.



Damn thats crazy. Luckily the fuel tank didnt go with it

That was a pressure only explosion, not one involving combustion, so it would have been extremely unlikely that ignition of the fuel would have occurred even if the fuel tank had been compromised.
