Best Answer

The Compressed Gas Association recommends against storing compressed gas cylinders on their sides for 3 reasons:

* Acetylene (dissolved in acetone) uncovers explosive crystals that can detonate. * Cylinders may have water that can start corrosion on the thin side walls and cause a tank to fail faster than it would if stored upright since the bottom is thicker. * Cylinders can roll and injure a person or become damaged None of these reasons really apply to your propane tank. You will find that propane tanks are commonly stored horizontally and are even used horizontally (propane powered forklifts, for instance).

What is greater 5000 or 5 tons?

5000 is a number with no units. It CANNOT be compared with a number which HAS units.Without knowing the UNITS of the 5000 no comparison can be made.5000 oz are different to 5000 lb which are different to 5000 kg - which are all different to 5 tons.I guess you meant 5000 lb.1 (short US) ton = 2000 lb&rarr; 5 tons = 5 &times; 2000 lb = 10,000 lb5,000 < 10,000&rarr; 5,000 lb < 10,000 lb&rarr; 5,000 lb < 5 tons&rarr; 5 tons are greater than 5,000 lb
