Can you store the can on its side without it leaking?

Probably but would not trust storing any gas can in that manner for a period of time unattended.

They do not leak when closed tightly. Yes they can be stored horizontally. I recommend them :)

I used it to store gas for my Goldwing on a trip last year. Just in case I got stuck between gas stations. Didn't have any problem with leaking. Just poured into my tank at the end of the ride. Leave room in the bottle for expansion.

I don't store the bottle if it has water inside -- if it has water in it, I let it sit upright, not on its side or upside down. I haven't had problems with leaking, the water flows freely when I turn it upside down, and comes out at a slower flow if it's on its side, but to my understanding it's working as expected. Pour the water out or as another answer says, keep the original bottle cap to keep the bottle sealed.

The lid slides onto the tray without a tight seal. Unfortunately, it will leak if placed on the side.

No, not a tight seal. I've not turned it upside down, but if I were to fill it with water and turned it upside down there would be a slight trickle.

My bottle also leaked when stored horizontally. So I keep it upright in storage now. Teflon tape might also work.

although mine is stored on its feet/wheels, i see no reason a person couldn't stand it on it's wheel end with proper blocking. if it leaks you have a seal problem

I have always left it upright. Should be a sealed system and can be stored lying down, but I would not.

yes, you can and should release any left over pressure before storing - it does not have a seperate valve to release the air pressure - it is done with the closing/opening handle

It can't if it mounting on out side. If mounting on in side will not work, because will not open and will leak very bad.

No. It is just the out side can. If l knew this, l would not have bought it.

Being obsessive I check to make sure the rubber gasket is fitting properly and not cracked every time I tighten the cap. My cans have never leaked when on their side, however I store them upright whenever possible. As the cans are not vented I never leave them out in the sun or store the a hot area.

You can however I bought a tool specific for this, it seals from both sides at the same time. Worth the money

Yes, laying on it's side. This bag will hold a full six pack of sodas or water bottles. The bag is really quite large and roomy.

I've never had a problem with any leaking through the cap, and I always set it on its side. I do make sure that the cover is on securely, of course.

You can hold it by the sides if you'd like. I am very happy with this item.
