Im building my kegerator and want to mount the co2 tank on the fridge door, has anyone heard of any negative effects with storing the canister on its side? |

I don't think you want to do that. That will let liquid CO2 into your regulator. CO2 tanks are designed to work in the upright position unless they have a dip tube or either that the equipment they are supplying is intended for liquid CO2 |

What he said. Your tank is full of liquid CO2. For to accuse requires less eloquence, such is man's nature, than to excuse; and condemnation, than absolution, more resembles justice. -Hobbes, Leviathan

I mounted a 5# tank to the door of my Sanyo 4912 but not on it's side. Used a couple of pieces of plumbing strapping with some auto push in fastners to hold it into the plastic of the door and insulation. |
