This was addressed quite recently, but since it is important, I'll say it again.
Each tank has a label on it. The label will say "Fill in vertical position only" or "Fill in horizontal position only". TM uses both kinds of tanks. You
MUST follow the label instructions.
Even if your tanks say "Fill horizontal", you have to remove them from the cradle, since the cradle doesn't allow enough space to put the fill pipe on them. With the newer TMs, this is reasonably easy, since there is only one bolt per tank, and you can undo that bolt by hand. On older TMs, there were three bolts per tank, and you needed a wrench to remove them. On my 2002 TM, I simply clipped the proper wrench (I've forgotten the size) on the inside of the A-frame, to keep it handy.
