    Get too much of it in a confined space and you go night, night.

    don't laugh but that was the instructor's words over working in the the bucket box on a N2 trailer...

    Look from outside which valve you need to handle, stick your head in there and don't breath while you open or close that valve and get back out.

    Reason was that the N2 leaking inside the enclosed space could displace the O2 inside the 'Bucket Box'
