Default N2O question

Sorry to post ----- but I just have a quick question. Does n2o have a shelf life? I had my bottle last filled about 5 months ago, and its basically 3/4 full still. I went to purge today, ---- came out, but it wasnt cloudy or anything, couldnt see it, and I kno its not my purge selenoid. Maybe the n2o went bad?

the white cloud is because of the n2o being so cold. if their is no white cloud, you are not spitting out liquid n2o. just the vapor form

Well I didnt weight the take, I'm just guessing, cuz since I filled the tank I used it only once and purged only a couple times. Its not biggie, but its been sittin there for about 5 months, didnt kno if it can go bad or not.

Are ya sure you dont' just gotta little leak? 5 months is a long time to keep that much pressure in.

I wouldn't empty the tank. Try to let a little out, if there is something comming out, then you are good to go.
