Will an FE work lying on its side?

[AdAndrews]

I have little room in my cabinet so want to put my FE under my bed, but this means lying it down. will it still work, or not?
Thanks

No, not recommended.
The co2 in a fe at pressure is in a liquid form.
Laying the fe down may result in liquid co2 been forced from the fe.

it'll work, but no pressurised liquid gas bottle should be left lying down. beware!

lol ok guys, glad i asked

 

[AdAndrews]

just thinking about where to put it then.. what are the dimensions again?

 

[AdAndrews]

Got it! in my wardrobe.. well it will work as long as there is no problem with a 3m c02 line?

 

[Mark Evans]

3m c02 line?

you should be fine. just push it a tad more from the fine tuning valve. or what ever config your reg has. in stead of 1 bar go to 1.5

ok

thanks
