Probably a daft question, but do these bottles have to be used upright,
or can they be used lying on their sides?


Upright, unless you intend to make a flame thrower.


interesting that all the LPG powered fork lifts use then lying on their side

way.

It's on it's side because they want the liquid out. It goes through
an engine heated evaporator & thence to the carburretor.
Interesting point, how do they get the rest of the liquid out bleow
the outlet. Unless there's a dip tube.
