Re: [APD] transporting CO2 tanks?
Has anyone thought about why the professionals transport gas bottles
vertically? Also I was told once that if you have just had a tank refilled
you need to transport it vertically. Mine forms ice on the outside while I
am putting it into the truck. I snug it against the rear seat and the front
passenger seat so it stays vertical. I think the same guy said that if the
cold liquid co2 contacted the seals in the valve that it could cause them to
go brittle or stick.
I don't want to spread any misinformation. Can anyone confirm or repudiate
this? Mine is a 20# tank.
