- Since I've done this before I'll respond:
-
- The best way is the buy a 1/2" riser for the carb. which has a
- needle valve in it, then hook up your tank to a regulater which
- will allow a small amount of gas to flow for a limited amount
- of time. An electric button activates this process.
-
- I have heard that NO2 now has sulpher in it to prevent kids from
- inhaling it. It seems the sulphur in the combustion process would
- create sulphuric acid? Anyone care to comment? Is this true?
