In most threads I've researched on the use, choice, size, deployment, dive style, necessity, philosophy and mounting of a bailout bottle I haven't seen this question adequately addressed.
For those that mount their bailout tanks to their main tank I've noticed that some mount them upright to the right of the primary, some upside down to the right of the primary and others upside down to the left of the primary. In most threads these configurations are mentioned casually and what I'd really like to know is whether you have a reason for your preference.
Why do you mount it the way you do?
If upside down is because you can reach the valve, I dive with both valves full open. Are there other viable reasons?
