The official answer is to ALWAYS have your acetylene tank standing up, whether in use or in transport or in storage. Many people do transport acetylene on it's side, but if you choose to do this, let it stand up for at least a couple of hours before you draw from it. Also you'd better be darn sure the tank valve doesn't leak.
It is true that it is recommended to transport and store acetylene tanks in an upright position but not because they will explode it is because of the acetone in them. If acetone gets up to the valve and it can easily when the container is lying down you will have difficulties lighting up the torch.
