Can FMU be mounted on it's side?

I'm going to replace the Stillen/Vortech FMU set up with a Vortech super FMU. The unit it's physically bigger. I want to save room and not use the Stillen FMU/Fuel pump bracket and just mount it direct to the strut tower. Since the holes are vertically on the car, I would have to turn the unit on it's side. Is there any harm in doing so? I don't think so since I have seen people mount FPR on it's side.

I would thinks so since it is all pressurized(i think). You might want to get another opinion on this since i am not sure.

I can't imagine how it would matter.
