Why can't I see my purge?

This may be a simple answer but my car has been sitting since November in my garage. I just installed a 90 degree brake fitting with 2 outlets from my purge solenoid.I then ran the lines out the front of my nostrils on my glasstech hood..lol..but anyways when i tried it out i could see the n20 in a white form...it blew all the way to the top of the celing out of both tubes...looked really sweet...then about 30 min later i brought the camera out to take a picture and when i pushed the button all that happend was the loud hissing sound...could not see any white n20....why is this...the garage is only heated from a space heater so it was probably 40-50 degree...kind cold...but can you tell me why this is ....thanks

Sounds like your out of N2O.... Try warming up the bottle, but you may just have used it all playing with the purge. How long did you hold it?

1slowformula's right, you're out of dope. You'll be surprised how much "gaseous" nitrous is still in the bottle. The white you saw was the last of the "liquid" nitrous.

You can still use the pressure to test fittings and solenoids for leaks.

Get a re-fill and then give it a try

Your already out? Was the bottle full when you installed everything and purged it? If so, you may want to check your lines for a leak

I agree, your out. I have a 10 pounder and I only get a few good uses before the liquid is gone, but the purge will hiss for days.

Also...make sure your bottle is sitting in it's brackets with the correct side down !!!
