You can use drainage pipes,cut them within a few iches to the height of your tank and slot them in ;)

Yes,but you will need to cut quite a few for a 600 litre tank depending on their width,the wider they are the less you will use but you will need to fit them through the lid :D
They will support each other when they are all in,when you can't fit anymore in the job is done ;)

Unfortunately this will only work if the pipes are so tightly jammed together that they can't move.  Any movement at all and the water and pipes will slosh around together as one enormous mass, making your van very unstable :o :o

Also I think putting IBC tanks in a van is very dangerous as they are virtually impossible to secure and any sort of impact will send them crashing around and killing any soft organic things in their way (you!!)
