    I'd say fire, brudda...see the pull handle?

    Nitrous is usually blue, IMO....plus they mounted closer to the actual engine intake, why waste gas charging a bunch of line length?

    They try to color code the bottles to avoid confusion at the Refill Counter.....

    Also note the gauge on the white bottle......that a standard extinguisher gauge with red zones for "undercharge" and "overcharge"...

    A nitrous bottle would be more like a gas regulator gauge showing a pressure range only......

    Based upon my experience with cutting torch rigs, nitrous in a Ferrari melts the spark plugs......:)

    Refrigerant gas is green bottles....nitrogen is orange......;)

    But be sure to check the label!

    And don't knock a full one over...break the regulator off and they can fly like a torpedo!

    Agreed, fire suppression system in white - pull red t-bar and flood ur engine with powder. The red bottle is back-up. ;)

    Love the interior, very purposeful. Seeing the CDs stashed there makes me like it even more because I can see it's not a track only car.
