about the bottles.
Are some bottles "lay down" style while others are "stand up" ??

If so, how can you tell them apart.

Can a lay down bottle be stood up and vice versa.

thanks!

The bottles have a pickup tube which has a slight bend to reach the bottom corner of the bottle. This helps to insure the pickup is always submerged in liquid N.O.S.. When bottles are mounted tilted (laying down) the tube should be pointing down and to the rear of the car.

To answer your question, the bottles can be used either way UNLESS someone has modified the pickup (not likely)

Is it always bent towards the threads on the valve
(stock bottle).... so you should have the threads
pointed downward.... while the bottle is angled
