Question Does the length of line from bottle to gauge matter?

My bottle is hidden under a hefty speaker box, and I would like to run my gauge to a place where I can see it. Probably near the back seat. Would a longer line affect performance?

No,
It will not matter other than the fact the longer the line the more nitrous it takes to fill it.

Thumbs up Re: Does the length of line from bottle to gauge matter?

I hadn't considered the nitrous it takes to fill the line. Thanks for the WISE advice, Dave.

Why not use an electronic gauge, then you can mount the gauge anywhere, and put the sensor right by the bottle?

I thought about using an electronic gauge and sending unit, but they are just too pricy for me. Plus I already have a mechanical gauge.
