Default Need bottle placement help

I have emailed nitrous outlet a few times and can't get a response. I have their kit on my car and recently moved from a single bottle between the seats to two bottles in the trunk. But they are now standing up which made me wonder about the pick up tube. I have seen tons of race cars like that but wasn't sure if a diff tube is needed or if they need to be spun a particular way??

The siphon tube in all bottles are angled away from the label. For your vertical mount make sure the label is facing forward (toward the direction of travel.

So on a bottle with no label I need to take out the tube and see which direction it's facing and the point that towards the front of the car?

I will note this is the only issue I ever had with them. They have always been above and beyond. That's why I use their products.

On our bottles, not sure which bottle valve you have, the tube faces away from the burst disc, or on the side that the nipple is on, as per reference to a bottle with no sticker. There are guys that run their bottles standing up, someone already answered the orientation question for you. Thanks guys, and good luck OP.
