Friends,
I agree with Vince regarding the safe transport of propane tanks. It is =
safe
to transport them on their side. The valves will not "freeze up" or get
compromised in any way. In fact, I have never even had to bleed the tank =
as
Vince suggests though it is not a bad idea to do so. Remember though, nev=
er
use the tanks in any position other than right side up unless a liquid
propane withdrawl valve and burner system is connected.
