Carlos, I'm talking about turning the upside down (180 degrees from the way they are usually filled). This would have gravity hold the gas down hence it will enter the tank slower. This would create less heat as the tank is filling slower. Hence less heat, less wear and teat on components... P.S. I'm being sarcastic (full of B.S.)

I think filling upside down is better since with less heat there is less wear and tear on the valve and tank. Now you only need to get them O2 cleaned every 13 months. Well worth making a complete ass out of yourself by demanding "180 degree" fills!!
