As others have said, DOT regs call for them to be transported in the upright position. That said, I have seen a lot of them transported laying down.
I have a wooden rack that I transport them in the prone position in my p.u. bed that keeps them from moving. Been transporting them that way for over 40 yrs. Last spring was the first time I had an issue with the earth filler plugging the regulator. But I took the tank put of the truck & started using it without letting it stand for awhile. Cleaned the reg & everything was fine.
Use to be where we bought welding supplies made you sign a waiver of liability if you transported them horizonally but haven't done that for at least 10 yrs.
