You're not going to like this, but if it were me, I'd be getting that tank off there ASAP and welding 45 degree braces on it to stop it from racking like that. 1" is surprisingly strong in compression but if if racks -even a bit, the welds will fatigue and if it fails....<shudder>.
I dunno, you might get away with bolting it but if it were me (and I'm anal, I know) I'd weld it, no question. The consequences of a failure are just too great not to, IMO.
