I have a small air compressor that I'm adding wheels and a handle to for

it on its side in the car?

I think I can, but I know you can't do it with gas engines and although
I know that they're different, I want to make sure that I'm not missing
anything.

Thanks,

You'll more than likely spill oil, and yes, you can put gas engines on
their side, if you couldn't we wouldn't have chain saws and weed
wackers. Yes an engine that's not designed for it will spill gas and
oil, but it won't hurt the engine.
