Nitrous oxide, in and of itself, is NOT a fuel source. Nitrous oxide's benefit to an engine is that it is a contains a higher percentage of oxygen than outside air.
BUT if you've ever operated a cutting torch, you also realize that simply adding more oxygen to a burning mixture only turns it into a cutting torch...unless you also add sufficient fuel to the oxygen to make it burn properly.
So nitrous oxide, with sufficient additional fuel, allows there to be more fuel and oxygen mixture in the combustion chamber during a combustion "event," resulting in more cylinder pressure as the mixture burns...more "bang" for your buck, so-to-speak.
NOW...as to the specific bottle of "stuff" you speak of...I have no idea what it is, because nitrous oxide is a GAS, not a liquid, at room temperature.
