Abstract: The removable tie-down device is comprised of a plurality of straps that are attached to each other in such a way as to form a tie-down device for the safe transportation of a cylindrical object, for example a propane tank, in the bed of a pickup truck by securing the propane tank to the inside of the trucks tailgate. When in use, two main straps pass from a readily available conventional tightening device down the vertical side and under the bottom rounded shoulders and to both sides of the base ring of the propane tank positioned vertically against the inside of the tailgate and standing on the truck bed. These two main straps then pass under the bottom edge, up the vertical outside surface and over the top surface of the tailgate, and then pass over the tank to connect to the tightening device.
