How you guys bring your tank to battling or outside?
Somebody use some special box?

When I take it to the park it goes in my trunk and I drive like an old lady.

Hi
went to the local Poundstretcher store and bought some clear plastic storage containers with hinged tops. Each will take 1 tank with pipe insulation tube squashed around the tracks to keep the tank in the centre on the box. the boxes are strong enought to stack 3 high with tanks in and so I just stack and rack em, easier to store at home keeps the dust off and being clear you can see what tank is in each box. Last Duxford show I went to, manage to get 14 tanks in the car plus my chair and a gazebo, wife moaned when i said she could come in the trailor >:< so I went on my own !ahhhh the peace and bliss. :haha:
regards Denzil

This look right.
What is a correct size?

I just use the non slip rubber mat that you get at a DIY store. The tanks just stay where I put them no matter how I drive. :D
