I found this in the NOS forum and thought it might be a useful FAQ to put on the FI list.
I called up the CHP today and spoke with an officer in the Hazardous Materials group in Sacramento. Nice guy. I asked him "Is it legal to have NOS installed on your car?" A: Yes, provided that the bottle is securely mounted. The bottle must also be DOT approved. Once the bottle is connected, it is considered part of the fuel system and no additional hazmat regulations apply. He said to check with CARB regarding emissions regulations. "Is it legal to have a disconnected NOS bottle in your car?" A: Yes, but the bottle must either be empty, securely mounted, or securely held with the valve protected. "Do you need to have hazmat placards and stickers on your car?" A: No, provided you are carrying less than 220 or 440 lbs of it in your vehicle, the officer wasn't sure which. This falls under a a personal trade exemption. If you are using NOS for commercial purposes, you must have the placards on the vehicle. "What about transporting the filled cylinders?" A: This is the area the CHP is the most worried about. The short answer is that for modest quantities (< 220 or 440 lbs), the NOS cylinders may be transported unconnected in approved DOT containters provided the identitying labels are visible and legible, the bottles are secure, and the valves are protected. So I asked him, "If I have NOS connected in my car with the bottle securely mounted, am I breaking any law if I am not using it? A: None related to hazardous materials and none other that he was aware of.

Yeah I started it in the old PH like a year or so ago. I figured it'd make a cool referance guide. But thanx for any new additions, they'll be greatly appreciated.

NOS Legal or Not?
Now I am not sure how true this is but I was told by a Sherrif that there is nothing against the law on have NOS installed in your car. There is nothing anybody can do about it police or not. The only way they can get you for NOS is if the valve on the bottle is open when you are on public streets. They say you then intend to use it when it states it is only for off road use only. So if you keep that valve close to you and you can open and close it quickly the cops cant get ya.

No it's not illegal to have a Nitrous Oxide system installed in your car but the bottle has to be disconnected from the system while on public streets. Meaning the actual lines that run from the bottle must be disconnected. Having the valve closed is not enough.

Each cop has thier own interpretation of the rules but he can't ticket you for simply carrying a disconnected bottle. Transporting many of them tho is illegal without the proper license and visual equipment.
