Normally, we carry a 20LB tank in a rear outside compartment, and normally leave it there. It's generally only used for cooking equipment, not a portable fire setup.
When space has been a premium, we have a hitch mount carrier we carry stuff on. Using a tank foot (large plastic stabilizer the tank sits in snuggly) and also strapping to the carrier through the hand holds. Never had it fall off the carrier or rub through the strap.
Looking at your blog link, if your tow has a hitch, you can get a carrier for it, or stow the tank with a tank foot in the trunk. Those tank feet are very stable. Another alternative, would be to buy a tank setup used for a trailer and have it permanently attached to your bumper. They are a bit more secure, look at PPL motorhomes.
