    Wrap it in thick blankets and then strap it securely on to the bakkie tank first stand next to it, if possible don't let them touch. Drive carefully and it should be fine.

    Agree with @Whoknows

    Take tank off the stand and place next to each other wrapped in blankets

    I usually also spread old blankets at the bottom of the bakkie or some polystyrene
    Even two or three layers of cardboard will also help
