Default mounting a damper upside down. problems?

I have a pair of dynamic rear dampers, and i want the external reservoirs mounted to the chassi instead of the trailing arms, therefore i need to mount them upside down.
Will there be any issues with this?
If i remember correctly the dynamics are oil filled dampers with external gas reservoirs.

Ive mounted them like this

The whole unit is sealed and pressurised, does not require gravity to operate so you'll have no problems

I guess the proof is in the driving. It should be fine. Drive it and let us know. I'm interested.
