Driving with tanks in the trunk

[JugglingMonkeys]

What's the best way to stop them from rolling around?

of course, put heavy stuff next to them...

other ideas?

I took an old pair of jeans and sewed the legs shut after I filled it with sand. Works very well. I also place a tub I stick my wet gear in next to it so it can't move easily.

You could make a small rack out of pvc. similar to a utensil tray but without a solid bottom.

some pipe or pool noodles, and some rope... make a simple rack.
or you can pvc it up and make a really nice pvc rack.

You could make a rack that fits perfectly in your trunk for everything. Partitions for anything you want. Don't glue the whole thing together so you can get it out of your trunk. You could put a shallow tray under it and make a drip rack for your stuff too. Just spitting ideas out.

I just wedge my soft weights next to them.

I put them under a cargo net and drop the soft weights between them to keep them from clanging together...

I made something out of a pool noodle. Each piece of Noodle is 21.5" long and about 6" between the noodles. I used shock cord for mine that way I did not have to worry about spreading it apart when I was putting the tanks on it in the trunk. I did make a few of these for friends some with rope and some with chock cord, and I like the shock cord better. This keeps both the 7.25" and 8" tanks secure. I have taken corners fast in my car and forgoten about the tanks in the back. I have never had one roll out of there even when they are in the trunk by them selves.

If you want something for a truck or SUV you can look at another one that I made here .
