NOS and FIRE
Nitrous is not directly flammable, but will it increase or propagate an accidental fire if it is consumed in the flames?
is there any explosion dangers related to tank or lines even w/o a fire?

The gasoline does not become part of the system until you get farther down the line, at the engine bay, so that has nothing to do with it. A fire isnt really a concern its the fact that the nitrous is under heavy pressure, and anything underpressure wants to expand, and will if given the chance, such as a punctured bottle.

Well I'm proven wrong. I'll eat some crow no problem. In my own backwoods mind having an a liquid under pressure that can fuel an already occuring fire at a larger rate justified me calling it flammable.
