Re: nitrous in your car?

There is a significant decrease in pressure between a full tank and a near
empty tank at the same temperature (which thereby leads to a significant
decrease in available HP).  Thus, the bottle heaters are designed to
compensate for the loss of volume as the tank gets empty, which keeps the
pressure closer to that of a full tank.

Said another way:
