The Lair

Hey guys question here, can I transport a 20lbs propane tank horizontally? I made a research but no real answers... I know I can't use it on its side, just want to know if it is safe for the tank (mostly the valve system) to be on its side.

 

its obviously not the recommended method but u got to do what u got to do lol just make sure its secure so it doesn't roll around

 

Thanks! Just trying to figure where I would put it if I ever build myself a unistrut rack like EST did lol I would like to try to keep gas and other flamable product outside of the cab. For a smelling reason and also security. I know propane tank are safe but if it can go on the top why not then!

 

Thats what I think also. With their round base, smaller than the tank diameter it makes it hard to strap it well

 

not to sounds dumb but is a 20lber like a regular bbq tank? if so, put it in a milk crate, that way u can put it upright. we have all our propane tanks in milk crates, makes for easier transportation/securing

 

Yep 20lbs is a bbq tank... i feel dumb to not have thought about the milk crate!

Mornin’ folks!

 

Monday.....rainy.....foggy....dreary. I really need to get yellow fog lights. Morning Lair bears.

 

I slept like a rock last night!! Got 11 hours of sleep to make up for the last two nights. Man it feels good.

 

Excellent! ​

 

I passed out at 10:30. Woke up at 7am with no alarm. It was great.


But then I remembered I needed to come to work. Then it sucked

 

Yeah that does suck, but at least you slept well. I only made it to 8:45 last night before I went to bed

 

I got a haircut before I got home, unpacked, mowed the lawn, then plopped down on the couch. My feet were killing me. I need to use cruise control more

Then I watched a really bad movie that was 2 hours long, looked for something else to watch, before I checked the clock. Saw the time, then ran to bed.

 

URD is in Huntingtown, MD..

 

That's like an hour from me!
