will this tank work in a horizontal position?

Yes, it will work in the horizontal position. It is designed to be used that way. We bought it for our forklift and have had no problems.

Of course, horizontal is the way forklift tanks are mounted. but I would call a local forklift sales and maintenance company...perhaps a Toyota Forklift retailer. I don't know if they work when in the vertical position, but Toyota will. By the way, this is a very well-made tank and was cheaper than anything we could find locally. Highly recommended!

Yes it will work horizontal or vertical, and the fuel guage has a dual scale to read either position.
624706
Yes it will. I am using this tank on a forklift in the horizontal position.
624707
Yes the tank will work in a horizontal position. It is actually easier to fill in the horizontal position.Jon
624708
Yes, I bought a couple and we use them on a Forklift on an horizontal position. Great quality by the way and were cheaper than what I found locally. The free shipping sealed the deal for me.

Do yourself a favor and call a forklift dealer. Pete, who answered on February 19, 2013, is completely ill-informed AND WRONG! But, that's what you get when you ask a bunch of "Bubs" for advice...call someone who has a clue, like a forklift retailer. Forklift tanks are mounted horizontally. We have this tank on our Toyota forklift and it mounts HORIZONTALLY.

Yes, and, in fact the fuel level gage is designed to give an accurate fuel reading in either position.

No. You will need to put a couple of elbows in your vertical line to accommodate the filter In a vertical position.

if you do decided to mount it horizontal just be sure the reservoir is pretty much completely full, other wise if there is a lot of air on top, im pretty sure you will suck in more air then liquid, again I haven't tried this out myself, as mine is mounted vertical but when I was building it I did try to tilt it horizontal but I never turned to pump on.

No, it needs to be installed vertically. The bulb on the bottom floats on the water, rising up and sealing. It wouldn't work horizontally.

It could but you would have to build a custom mount to make sure it is centered. It is pretty good for a little tank.

You can, but it doesn't seem very stable. I think it is designed for the horizontal position.

If you lay it sideways in the tank. It's pretty long so standing it upright may not work. It heats my full 40 Gallon with no problems.

yes, it work fine either way. We have a turtle tank with 7" of water, we put a 18" or so heater horizontally, no problems, water temp stay constant.

This humidifier works by evaporating water as it runs down a spongy panel. If the unit were horizontal, gravity wouldn't pull the water down along the panel and into the drain, so it seems pretty clear to me that it couldn't be used on the horizontal.

The 100w should be sufficient. Not sure about putting it horizontally but recall reading somewhere that you can.

Look at your tank and see if it has groves on the top plastic to slide in to. Mine bows outward and works fine. You Must put the flat peice on the bottom of tank under gravel. Otherwise will not work. Don't Know aqueoun . But you will be able to tell if your tank is ment to hold a divider. Hope it helps. I love mine! It's 9 &1/2 inches tall and 6 1/2 " wide

Yes, that should work. The anode doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the tank

Yes - horizontal placement won't make any difference. The vent flap has a little "click" to hold it open so it doesn't matter. Wonderful product!
482203
Yes, from the middle upright position to only one side horizontal position...thus you can fill it.

Hmm... I don't know the correct answer to your question. I imagine that you probably can install it horizontally. However, I don't know if there is some mechanism that will work incorrectly if it is tilted on its side. This is a great tank heater though. I haven't had any problems with it and it maintains a constant temp.

Only if it's a short distance. Where there is a long fill tube to the tank, it will not. But a short distance it will work. They are cheaper at my local hardware store though.

I kept mine horizontal for a year, with no problem at all. Eheim Jager's are a very good product from my experience. I took a chance and kept my 200W heater in a sump-well that had 4 tanks connected to it, for a total of 185 gallons, and it handled the work flawlessly. For a single tank set-up, I would follow the manufacturer's guidelines, which in your case is to use a 250W heater.
