				shall anchor the container to the cradle, frame, or chassis in a manner to
				prevent the container from rolling or bouncing off the vehicle and that will
				not create undue concentration of stress.

				container or containers constitute in whole or part the stress member of the
				chassis of the vehicle in lieu of a frame shall be constructed to withstand the
				additional stresses which are imposed. Cradles, when welded, shall be welded to
				the container by a welder who is registered under the code and shall be
				designed to withstand a force in any direction equal to two (2) times the
				weight of the container when filled with nitrogen fertilizer
				solution.

				withdrawal line is installed in the bottom of a container, the connections
				thereto, including hose, shall not be lower than the lowest horizontal edge of
				the trailer axle.

				mounted on four-wheel trailers, care shall be taken to insure that the weight
				is evenly distributed over both axles.
(c) When the cradle and the tank are
