Got a 350 tank from Purefreedom and now need to strap it down proper like so it doesn't squash me missus wi her mad driving.     How do I do it ?     

Thanks for any replies.

Before getting it fitted properly (securely bolted down) I would fill it up first to see if the arse starts dragging along the floor. lol

You want to put a 350 tank weighing over a third of a ton in the back of a family car? And you have a van? Remind me why your wife cannot drive it.

I'm sure you will get on with using the car just fine as long as it's not overloaded and the tank, reels  etc are made secure.

Why are you asking us when you can see for yourself surely?
Anyway if there were I would not trust them myself. Take it to a fabricator/garage as I'm sure they could knock up a frame and bolt it securely through the floor for you. Depends on the design of frame you want could also include fixings for a battery box, pumps, hose reels etc mounted on the top of the tank.

Picasso doesn't have reinforced side wall tyres or load rated. No bulhead, it will put a strain on the engine , suspension and brakes. It will flood your footwell if it leaks. It's not really practical but it's your car so up to you

Even Vauxhall Astra vans are hopeless with weight in them and they are so called van,I know a windy who's had every spring and shock replaced on his van. They look like a van but with car suspension I would never dream of putting a tank in a car that's crazy.

Man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. I would slide it forward to get over the rear axle. Wouldn't put more than 200 litre and strap I down.
