What would happen in a crash?

I'm not trying to put a dampener on your achievement,.. but the restraints I see on those barrels seem minimal. a 20mph collision would prob be plenty enough to send them flying at the back of your (and your passengers) heads, probably killing you both!

I'm not suggesting spending thousands on a brand name crash tested system,.. just pop down your local engineering place and get them to weld up a cage for them and bolt it to the chassis.
As it stands, I'd not hesitate to use the word "deathtrap"!

I don't mean to sound harsh, but WFP is about reducing risks not replacing them!

I'm afraid I have to add my concerns to the above.  Any sort of accident will probably result in driver and/or passenger fatalities.  Your insurance company won't be too pleased either ::)

you still need to cage in the tanks and attach to the chassis.
