I seem to recall a warning on Gene's site to rotate a hotdog shaped
bag 180 degrees before it collapsed, but I am wondering:

Is it hotdog shaped when it curves upward (◠), or when it curves downward (◡)?

Because my left side airbag curves upward. (right side is straight,
i'm guessing this is because the onan's on the left)

"Hotdogging" generally refers to a bag that is bulging or curving upward from the pressure and the angles on the ends of it. Maybe one of your bags is newer that the other one. It wouldn't hurt to rotate both of them 180 degrees anyway.
