Well sort of.... Nitrous explosion. No one was hurt thankfully.

And what explanation do we have as to why the tank exploded? Just heat? Is this common for nitrous?

[slammin.e28]

If the nitrous didn't explode the engine probably would have.

Good thing no-one got hurt.

The smoking lamp is out.

I wonder what the side of that Mercury looks like.

Whoever built that tank is in for a treat.

Should have had a relief valve, and a blast disc to prevent this.

Or maybe it was rigged for teh insurance moneys?

Better ban high pressure home tanks now.

Would insurance cover such a modification malfunctioning?

I doubt it, unless it was declared to them, which there is very little chance of. I read that story on Jalopnik a couple weeks ago or so. It was chalked up to heat+lack of a functioning vent.

Figured.

Suckssss to be him. Lucky lucky some piece of debris didn't hit someone or he'd be in even deeper.

Also, how does TX law look on having a pressurized container like that in a car?

[Roysneon]

As long as the engine is OK, I don't see why it wouldn't be, he should be able to grab another Fox body for a couple grand and swap everything over, but still not a fun position to be in.

Good thing it was just a mustang

[CabbE30]

Too bad it was just 1 mustang
