N20 + crashing car = really bad????

Simple question, if I crashed my car and had N20 set up, could it blow up or catch on fire or anything like that?

Thanks, simple saftey question.

Well, I know thats bad too

but I was just thinking a presurized bottle of a highly flamable substance can't be good.

its not.....

N20 will not explode on its own. When you mix it with gas - then it is flamable.

You have been watching to much fast and the furious

Read the side of your bottle

While it is not flammable it is under high pressure......so yes the bottle could explode if hit hard enough. Thats one negative thing about hiding the bottle in the spare tire well IMO. Every see the movie JAWS

If it was hit hard enough the burst cap would pop and just empty the bottle.
