Driving With a nitrous tank

Is it legal to drive a 20-40 pound tank across multiple states? I don't have access to tanks at home but I'm on vacation and want to bring one home for a future concert. Thanks for the help

Gas cylinders are color coded by type. Paint the cylinder a color that matches oxygen, nitrogen, or CO2 and it'll look like it's for welding. Throw a torch or at least some beat up leather gloves and tools in the trunk with it for camo.

MORE IMPORTANTLY: Check your car over for working lights and up to date registration/insurance/valid license and don't drive like an ass. I've heard more stories of idiots driving around with federal amounts of drugs with broken tail lights...

Whats the size? If its a 5footer its gotta be upright and straped to a vertical pillar according to the DOT.

My car broke down on the interstate with 3 five footers in the back, the highway patrol cop that showed up said if i couldn't get my car off the highway in less then an hour he was calling a tow truck and ticketing me for illegally transporting pressurized cylinders.

never asked what was in um.

Lol I pictured you driving with a 15lb tank and a inhaling mask on during a road trip!

I was going to reply "Anything is possible, although probably not the best idea!"

But yes nitrous is legal and you will have no problem with this. Nitrous is used is a lot of different things - Chemistry, Dental, Food and Agriculture, ETC. No different then a tank of O2, Argon, Propane, or HCl - Except it's awesome!

N20 is barely illegal

Just tell them it's for your sweet-ass Honda Accord back home. You just found a great deal and are taking it back.

Pay attention to the speed limit and don't drive like a dumbass, then the cop has no reason to pull you over. If you're paranoid, pull into a gas station or store and act like you're going about regular business and buying food for the ride out
