Does a c02 tank have to be used upright?

A CO2 tank does not necessarily have to be upright. It depends if you want liquid CO2 or gaseous CO2. When I purchased a CO2 tank for a specific application, namely, CO2 snow cleaning, I had the option of getting a tank that either had a dipstick, that picked up liquid CO2 from the bottom of the tank, or one that had no dipstick so that it collected gas from the top of the tank. I selected a tank without the liquid pickup. So, my upright tank output gas. However, if I wanted liquid CO2, I would put my tank slightly upside down, and get liquid CO2. It is probably not recommended to run a commercial gas tank in a non-upright position. So, depending on what type of tank you have, and what type of output you want, the answer to your question literally is: depends. For farm and garden use, you are probably seeking gaseous output, and probably have a tank with no dipstick; based on these assumptions, yes, you will need to keep your tank upright.
