you would be ok just ratcheting that, but bolting it would be fine

you could get a bigger one if you needed , 350 isnt that much in a tranny

Ive got a 500 in a vivaro, and its great

You will have to postion the tank correctly in the van to 'spread the load'. If the fuel tank is in the way, then the usual procedure is to drop the tank so that the tank and frame can secured correctly, mostly by using spreader plates. There will be a small gap between the top of the tank and the underneath of the floor. Best time to do this is when the van has very little fuel left in the tank.

10 ton ratchet to the fixings in the front , its not moved in last 2 months, been fine

Anymore than 500 litres i would look at drilling but its very rarely full for long and like i say isnt going anywhere, got some wooden stops on floor too to cage it in
