You can’t lay a full tank down as the relief valve is made to relief vapor pressure
And will freeze with liquid and cause the tank to blevi
Can you further explain how this could cause a BLEVE without any other physical input? I also don’t understand how the LP would be cold enough to freeze when JB a static state. Sure, the side of the tank will frost up when you’re using a lot of fuel, but that is during an active time inside that tank. When you’re done with the gas use, the frost melts off. Pressure in the tank keeps the liquid in a liquid state, while at room temperature. Like a pressure cooker, but with a liquid that boils much cooler than water. I’m not a propane guy, but I believe that if the pressure in the tank we’re to exceed the relief valve’s opening point, it would squirt out liquid propane. This would obviously turn to a gas at outside temps and atmospheric pressure.
I believe that it would be best to transport the tank vertically, but can’t figure out why horizontal would be bad. Think on a much smaller scale. We’ve all transported, and possibly used, the little 1# Coleman cans in an orientation that placed the relief valve below the level of liquid.
My vote is to lay it in the bucket, strap it down snug, and put it where you need it. I always like to learn, so I’m interested to see how this works out.
