Yes maybe, but will secure your tank if fitted properly to the van and will save a life if you had an accident.

go to a local welder and ask them to make one, I think you will be shocked at the material cost and time involved in designing and making one though, pop it into a powered coating company and bobs your uncle.

I have custom made a few caged systems and tbh its a pain in the backside.

what stops sideway movement of the tank ? also why is the frame not sat in the securing part of the tank, cheapo for a reason I guess although I could be wrong, the metal for my frame cost more than the cost of that kit

Post by: bad trippy on April 08, 2012, 05:38:26 pm: The tank sits in the base, the base is bolted to the floor.
As a extra precaution i have also packed timber to any gaps.
The tank is 100% retained,it cant move anywhere.
I showed the guy across the road from me, who is an engineer, he told me that the material used is the very best,infact this is the same material that i used to use on building sites when i was a plumber.
The base was bolted in by the same guy who fitted franks tank
