An improved tank clamping mechanism (10) includes a flange (15, 17) projecting from each of two tank shells (11,13) to be clamped together. Each of the flanges (15, 17) has a slot-like aperture (27, 51) in registry with one another to removably receive and restrain a plate-like abutment member (31) having a threaded shank (35) extending from it. A clamp (63) is configured to slide over and engage the I flanges (15, 17) and urge them toward clamped engagement with one another as the handle (95) is rotated on the threded shank (35). The tank shells are thereby clamped together for confining a pressurized medium.
