Don't leave cans of refrigerant in your car when its 120 degrees outide (48.8 C). Only had 2 more weeks to go and I was selling car, I bet this will take some money off the price tag.

Nitrous bottles should be significantly higher quality than those crappy refrigerant cans, I wouldn't worry about it.
