Are there any specific recommendations for orienting a tank in a car or van for transport? When putting my tanks in my Subaru, I place them butt facing the back, on the assumption that were I rearranged, the valve would be better protected and should the valve fracture the tank would be propelled away from the passengers and probably into the engine block of the other vehicle. I know others who state that their instructors told them to face the valve to the back. I have just gotten a van (too much scuba stuff for the Subaru) and am looking for advice on the safest way to orientated the cylinders (vertical is probably out). Have there been any studies done, etc? should it be for and aft, sideways, which way should the valves face?
