Section 1.4.L: "Pressurized gas and air bottles with a pressure in excess of
200 psi must have a protective structure around their gauge and valves."
Clearly the intent is to address nitrogen bottles and welding rigs. I am not
sure how much pressure a NOS bottle has, I bet something considerably less
than 200 PSI. Further to that, in the even of an explosion, I would rather
that bottle be secure in the trunk of a car then laying loose unprotected.
Now my whole caveat to this deal is this: the bottle would have to come out
the car if somebody showed up and the bottle was in the hatch of a hatch
back, say CRX or such. The bottle is best protected, and we are best
protected from it like a fuel cell and a battery, when enclosed in some type
of metal structure.
