I guess my question is mostly about oxygen bottles. IIRC, propane,
acetylene and CO2 are all liquid inside the bottle and have to be mounted
vertically. OR, could they be mounted at a 45, particularly an acetylene?


I don't believe CO2 is in liquid form as usually delivered.

When I used to work in a local gage test shop (pressure, temperature,
etc.) we made our own dry ice blocks for temperature tests. This was
done by inverting the CO2 bottle and running the output through a two
piece block with a filter screen on the exhaust side. When in the
normally upright position the tank output is gas only. When inverted
the output is _defiantly_ a liquid. (and bloody cold at that grin)

That's regarded as bad mojo locally. I've never heard a good
explanation why though, other than that the gas supplier would rather
rent you yet another cylinder, this one with a dip tube running down
inside.
