The problem in transporting propane tanks on their side is that the pressure relief valve is below the vapor level and if for some reason (fire, accident, overheating etc) the tank should vent, it will vent liquid propane which will instantly expand to thousands of times it's volume in vapor causing an extreme hazard. NEVER place or transport them horizontally.
actually if you were to store it on its side as long as the relief valve is in the position that will be above the liquid it will be fine
so assuming its at 80%(full) and relief valve at noon it will be fine
