Before I tell everyone what happened I have a 1999 Contour SVT I installed a ZEX dry kit with a remote bottle opener, purge kit and bottle heater.
I had an alarm installed in my car the first time the car went in to get it installed the bottle was empty. Well I had teh bottle filled on thursday checked out the system charged the lines checked for leaks tightened everything up. A friend and I took my car out and made sure the system was working properly and it all was. With the bottle up to temp I had about 950psi after we were done playing I was sitting at 900psi with the bottle warmed up. I closed the bottle and purged the system.
So firday morning I took my car back to the alarm shop to have the alarm finished I know the bottle had 900psi with the bottle warm as I said earlier. Well I didn't check my mileage when I dropped the car off nor did I check the pressure in the bottle when I picked the car up. I caught up with a friend of mine on the highway that has a hopped up SRT-4 so I got all excited I was going to get to try out my system against a decent car in my class. I had the heater on for awhile so my bottle pressure should have been around 900psi right??? Well my pressure was 0psi I have nothing so I close the bottle and hit the purge thinking mabey my pressure gauge might be f***ed up. My friend said there was one small puff that came out and that was it.
We pulled off the highway and I checked everything out sure enough no nitrous in my bottle. I called the shop that did the alarm and of course the shop mamager tells me he has no idea what happened. The alarm was done in Silverdale, Wa and by the time I called I was well on my way to Yakima, Wa. When I get back over there I'm trying to decide what to do I want to confront them face to face.
Anyone have suggestions on how I should approach these guys???? Tell me what you think about this situation and what you would do.
