they always blood leak regardless of how you store them!! even with new seals. I thnk it's probably rather less if they are up right. They don't leak a lot, but enough to make the inside of your vehicle stink (and give up smoking if you use petrol!. trouble is carrying them up top makes for an unstable vehicle and not many roof racks will take the weight. Can holders on the sides or rear of the vehicle would seem a good way but are vulnerable in a accident (holywood explosions anyone!!)

I'm aware that good jerries have seals and should not leak, but still wonder if you can mount them like this.
Thx!
