co2 cylinder: can it be angled?

[nbspindel]

hey guys, here's the deal,
i planned my ferm chamber/kegerator to a certain size, and just got an early christmas present, a brand new cylinder. the problem is the cylinder is too tall to fit in my chamber as planned. i know they cannot be laid down b/c the liquid will get into the gauges, but can it be rested at an angle?

if not, would you suggest redesigning the kegerator to fit the tank or just store the tank outside of the kegerator?

Thanks.

i had mine on about a 30 degree angle because it was too tall. id imagine as long as it does not go past level (ie, 90 degrees or close), you should be fine.

i'm sorry, i don't follow your numbers. 90 would be perfectly vertical, which is necessary. 30 would be almost lying horizontal, right? or are you considering the vertical axis to be 0, 90 to be horizontal? did you ever have any issues with your gauges?

Mine is outside and I prefer it that way. So, that's what I'd do.
