[visionGT9506]

if your not using it then it would be better to take it out.

Post in the right forum...regardless of perceived foot traffic. I moved it.

It is safer in the cold, then in the heat. Hot days raise bottle pressure and it can reach maximum psi safety. I've had the burst disk pop and lost a full bottle of nitrous when i parked it while I went to work during the summer. The winter is much safer.

I would advise the main valve is closed when it sits and the line it purged/emptied. You don't want toi risk a solenoid leak and give needless strain to the solenoid seal while it sits with nitrous pressure constantly on it.

It won't hurt anything but I agree with klde94. Lowering the temperature will not cause any issues with the bottle, only raising it... a LOT

This, keep the main bottle valve closed when you are not planning on using it. No issues then with keeping it in the cold.

Yep, like the others mentioned, cold temps keeps the pressure down.
