Need propane tank hold down ideas

[dh]

I need some ideas for a 20# propane tank hold down for a single beam tongue.

The lower ring on all Propane tanks, be it a 5-10-20 or 30 pound tank has 2 holes 180 degrees apart apx. 3/8" diam.

A long bolt w/nut run through these 2 holes with a "U" bolt in the center, over the bolt and under the tank, clamped to the frame works well.

The only thing visible is the bolt & nut that run through the tanks lower ring.

Happy Trails

PS, if a single "U" bolt scares you....use 2.

I would have a tray welded onto the tongue, and then set your bottle on top of that. At that point it's easy to fashion a hold down.

for example... here, I just used threaded rod to hold down a bottle...
