It can be any way you want it to be, as long as the top of the bottle is higher than the bottom.

Just keep the dipstick at the very bottom of the bottle when you mount it.

the bottle should be angled so that the siphon tube is where the liquid nitrous oxide is pushed to under acceleration.

Mounting the bottle front to back, the bottle should be angled upwards with the bottom of the bottle to the rear of the car. The siphon tube should be positioned so that it is at the bottom (which is fairly standard that the outlet of the valve should face downwards toward the floor)

When mounting the bottle sideways in the vehicle, the bottle should rotated slightly to the rear of the car (approx 45*), so that the pickup tube is located where the acceleration of the car will push the liquid n2o to.

I heard it was to be mounted sideways or at a 45 degree angle I'm not sure so I will call NX right now.
