 Kevin,
 
  Are you saying that you will create more friction rolling a tank than
 you would while filling the tank?
 
  I look at it like spinning a glass full of bubbling soda pop.  The
 bubbles facing North still face North after spinning the glass.  Go

Not exactly John,

What I am saying is that at pressure, density of the gas frictionally 
interacting with the walls of the bottle, which in all actuality are far from 
smooth, will create movement or coriolis effect. Also, the gas is not a solid 
and by laws of rotation ( think of a flywheel) the radius vector at the 
furthest point from the center of the bottle is moving at a far greater speed 
than the gas at the center, naturally causing movement, or mixing of the gas. 
If you do this with a liquid, you will eventually achieve the same effect.
So, sit or spin, the point really is that one method should be done before 
your final analyzation of the mix, or use.

Kevin
