I had two family members come and help me erect a 12' x 12' x 8' high, and a
25' x 10' x 9' high metal carport cover. We used the cutting torch for various things. Today, I noticed that the newly filled acetylene tank was left laying on its side, a thing I instructed a newbie helper to do for overnight storage. Today, I realized that we were cutting with it in the horizontal position. It seemed to be working okay. I used my large oxygen laying down, as it is a pain to move around. Time to make a cart, I know.Two questions: Is it absolutely necessary for it to be totally vertical, or can it be a little tilted? I have seen them on carts with just a five or ten degree tilt. Secondly, if there is component separation, how long does it have to stand vertical before everything stratifies to "normal"?
TIA
