Can this tank be used laying on its side?

Yes. This tank holds compressed nitrogen gas, not liquid nitrogen, so the orientation does not matter.

The tank is positioned on the left side of the grill. there is a metal bar that holds it and a clamp to hold it in place.

Good question. I am not an expert and I do not play one on TV but I have seen this done in cars, boats, ATVs, trucks, et al. It is a pressurized tank and when you use it you can turn it sideways. I do not see any harm in storing it this way the same as any other pressurized object.

Yes the tank will work in a horizontal position. It is actually easier to fill in the horizontal position.Jon

This is perfectly acceptable - just make sure it is laid down on the correct side. The box is clearly labeled as to which side it is OK to lay down on.

It can if you are planing on using short tubes, but if you are planing on using long tubes you will have to place it below the tank.

Bottome left of the tank sits on the rail between the 2 wheels, other side on a bracket. It's fairly stable and sturdy mounting.

Yes it can however I prefer it on as a backpack so both my arms are free and the weight of the tank does not keep me off balance... I have been using backpacks for 5 years this one for 2 years, I'm very happy with it...

It has a flat bottom so you should have no problem with laying it on the ground and using it!!!!

My guess would be that it would be ok to lay on it's side. My spot light is always on it's side and works just fine. Same battery.

It probably could, as the lower area is enclosed. However, it has no side shelves to put a plate or fork on like most stand-alone units. I don't recall how finished-looking the sides were. They appear to be enameled steel, not stainless like the front-facing surfaces. You'll also need to consider the gas hookup. There was a propane tank stand of some kind but I think it was meant for installation next to the grill. Mine is fed by pipe, so I can't describe the tank holder. The installation manual has sketches of the setup, you should be able to find it online.

Yes, the rails can be put the the side. It looks better with the rails crossed even if its not in use.

It contains a sealed liquid battery; while it should not be a problem to lay it on its side for a short time, it's probably better for the long term to keep it upright. If you're using this in a rack, you may want to find a rack-mount solution.

No it couldn't. The tank actually sits on the stand with the tiniest bit hanging over the edges on all sides. You would need that extra space for the tank to fit and obviously you wouldn't be able to then place the tank on the bottom part of the stand. My roommates and I tried it but it was just to wide to fit.

Yes, but not easily because it is flush with the rest of the tank. This is annoying, but, if you generally keep it pointing in a single direction, and so aren't readjusting it often, it's not that big a deal.

You could, but I think the short side/outer lip would be an issue. It doesn't hold much liquid and would be prone to sloshing out.

The heater can be put in the tank sideways. It doesn't have to be upright. The knob controls how warm you want the water. Mine keeps it to within 1/2 degree. Mine is completely submersible.
