installation of propane tanks

[zeehag]

if i install my propane tanks on their side, is there gonna be a problem with fluid passing thru the valve? or can i get away with this method of installation--

 

[Bill Roosa]

Yes, it will cause problems with liquid flowing into the fuel lines. Propane tanks must be used in the upright position.

zeehag-

You can buy propane tanks that are designed to be on their side. They are not as common as vertical tanks. They are used predominately in the forklift truck industry.
