Questions for this shipment: 

Question: How can this be strapped down to the trailer? (9/17/2008)
Response: I don't know how but the tank needs to be shipped the same upward position because I hear if you lay it down the side panel may crush into the tank. I suppose you can strap the tank and stand separately. I have no experience/knowledge in the logistics of transporting such tank. (9/17/2008)
Response: I was concerned that if I could strap over the top and through the support/base. 9 feet tall the tank cant move but that a big wind catcher! (9/18/2008)
Response: If you separate the tank and stand, the tank is 6 ft tall. (9/18/2008)
