While transporting acetylene and oxygen between home and the garage I routinely lay the bottles on their sides. I do as hrpearce says and stand the acetylene up for a time before I use it. I also have a US Army welder trailer that has lying down storage for the bottles. I am more afraid of an oxygen bottle falling over and breaking off the valve. When I was an apprentice mechanic for a ready mix company an idiot truck driver kicked over a bottle and broke off the valve. The bottle went through a block wall and into the washroom where it stopped after smashing into a toilet. There were no drivers allowed in the shop after that.
Cheers, Barry
