In regards to storage, cylinders that are full must be stored upright where they are protected from damage. However, empty cylinders may be stored horizontally and on the ground.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
No cylinder is to be stored lying on the ground no matter if it is full or empty. Cylinders can still contain pressure when empty. Also, remember that the company who swaps out your empty cylinder for a full one often refills the empty cylinder for future use. A cylinder could be damaged if left on its side and cause an injury later.
