A first restraint () has a first rigidity in the direction of a length of the tank () and at least one second restraint () has a second rigidity in the direction of the length of the tank (). Upon thermal expansion or contraction of the tank () relative to the support structure (), the or each second restraint () flexes to a greater extent than the first restraint ().
