Propane gas cylinders must be transported so the relief valve communicates with the vapor space inside of the tank. For that reason, you should never transport a cylinder lying on its side unless it's a cylinder designed for horizontal use. The pressure relief valve could becomes liquid full and the valve could fail to open, the container could rupture.

Really bad idea. You would end up drawing liquid not gas through the valve and into your regulator and bad things would happen.
