No issue with that. Acetylene is stored as a pressurized gas in a liquid acetone containing pressure bottle. The acetone (finger nail polish remover) is further stored in a ditomaceous earth fiber matrix in the tank. The fiber and acetone are responsible for absorbing the fuel gas. Thus if a tank is laid down, there is a chance that the acetone will be getting into the regulator/lines and torch. Not good. They can be used at 45degree angle or so with no issue. Acetylene is unstable and explosive if not absorbed into the acetone at the cylinder pressures. If it is allowed to be under pressure over 30 (total) psi and by its self, (no oxygen or acetone) it can detonate. Thus the red marks on the gauge above 15 psi. (atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi, and 15 more make danger) Jim
