Don't do it. I don't know if you guys have the foam "noodle" floats that
are very common here in Florida, but if you do, cut one of them up into
pieces, put holes in each end of each piece and run polly rope through
them. Secure them in place and set the spacing with knots and washers.

The foam holders are far superior to the PVC ones. They grip the tank
and the surface they are sitting on and don't slide around easily as all,
even in the open bed of a pickup truck. They cushion the tank against
bumps and won't scratch anything. Best of all, they cost almost nothing
if you make one yourself. Mine are made for two tanks. Here's one made
for three. http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/AQUFTH3.html .

I would have suggested "noodle" foam but it doesn't seem to be as abundant
here in the UK. I agree that it would be a better material to use. After
a quick search I found these

for #2.99

That's the stuff. Interestingly, your link took me to the main page, not
the pate where the noodles are sold. Choose Product Overview, Pools
(Paddling & Swimming) and look toward the bottom of the page.
