Nitrogen:
1. Well I know Oxygen will fuel a fire a lot better than Nitrogen would.
2. I think Nitrogen is lighter then Oxygen so it will flow faster.
Oxygen
1. If you ever drive off a cliff into water you already have the scuba tank.
Look at your local laws on transporting Oxygen, because if fuels fire so well they might be some regulations on transportation on a specified amount
over 90% of the earth atmosphere is made of Nitrogen so it NOT that flammable. People commonly mistake Nitrogen with Nitrous Oxide which is flammable because it condenses the Oxygen by freezing it or some shit like that.
If I got rear ended in my car I would rather have Nitrogen next to my fuel cell then Oxygen
