(1) What is a SAFE way to transport cylinders?
Is it better to transport the cylinder valve to the front or valve to the back? How do you tie the cylinders down to keep them from rolling around?
upright only and chained

(2) If a cylinder is on it's side, how long do you have to wait before you can use the cylinder after you stand it upright?
dont put the cylinder on its side, you do not want the acetylene and acetone to separate, unless there is someone you really dont like

(3) While we are on a roll, what is a safe way to store the cylinders upright while they are in the shop?
to a wall, post or cart with a safety chain preventing it (them) from tipping over
