I make mounts for refrigeration tanks all the time. I'm pretty good at it, but even a novice should be able to turn out something serviceable without too much trouble. Some flat stock, a vice and a ball peen hammer is all you really need. An Oxcy acetylene torch may be helpful, it depends on the quality of your flat stock.
Start out with a bunch of little bends in the vice about an inch apart until you end up with a loop (or nearly), hammer the loop on something solid and curved, kind of working it into a tighter loop. I can do most cold, some metal develops stress cracks and needs some heat. The hammering makes heat of it's own and if you are good you don't need any additional heat.
Any place that does steam pipe or even plumbing supplies should have wall anchors and straps for pipe, should be easy to modify.
Just a quick idea, wrap the cylinder in chain, use a bolt to tighten the chain, weld your legs to the chain.
Most tanks are internaly coated to prevent rust, welding destroys the coating.
