Can Medical Grade Portable Oxygen Tanks Be Secured Horizontally While Oxygen Is Being Administered?

I work for a medical transportation company and somebody said portable oxygen can't be horizontal while in use because the gas separates. This doesn't make sense to me.

    Portable oxygen cylinders are very sensitive and highly inflammable. That's why excessive care should be taken in handling procedures. Its preferable to put oxygen cylinder in vertical position. However, it can be administered horizontally.

    By the way,, what does it mean "because the gas separates"????
