So part time use and frequent removal?
Good luck. At least a metal tank can be strapped down fairly securely for safety purposes or could even install some nut serts or weld nuts to the bottom of the bed for easier removal.
I’d be hard pressed to leave a fuel tank in my truck that isn’t somewhat “permanently” secured.
Safety issues aside, if not bolted down, it’s like Christmastime for tweakers every time you park it!
Permanent installation is not necessary. You can ratchet strap the tank down for safety reasons.
A 25 gallon tank will weigh 200#. Most tweakers will not even know what it is. Even then moving a greasy 200# diesel tank will not be easy.
While I do have a tonneau cover to keep my tank out of sight. Transfer Tank theft is the least of my worries
