If you were driving your car and the gas cylinder exploded, the ultimate result would be the same whether the cylinder was vertical or horizontal.

could the 'do not store on its side' theory, have come from the fact that actylene bottles MUST be stored upright? Having said this, I've noticed that British Waterways work boats store them layed down ! ! !

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

I have transported 47kg propane bottles around on their side with the family business(hog roast) for 20+ years now and never had a leak or an explosion.

Bernie the original topic asked if it was safe to leave a bottle of gas on its side not about a fire, I mentioned the fire in my explanation of why not to leave it on its side, and who mentioned the gas bottle exploding when DRIVING the car, the original post said he was storing it in his car overnight ready for his camping trip today. So, sorry to upset you Bernie but i agree on your last post, if one did happen to explode when driving the last thing going through my mind would no-doubt be my backside and not whether or not i had the bottle on its side or stood up.

Aside from which angle to point the valve, would it be a good idea to crack a window open to prevent the car's interior getting too hot? Mind you, with the UK weather as variable as it is, a cracked-open window might let the interior temp drop too much!

The title of the thread was "Will it blow up?"

Does that not suggest fire?   17

No Bernie it doesn't, it suggest's a leak of gas causing a build up in a confined space just waiting for an ignition source (i.e. a spark)  making it instantaneously explode, leaving a fire after the initial explosion.17
