I'm with you. Yes, it is definitely strapped in with two bungees. As mentioned in the accompanying thread,

I originally built it as protection against a gasoline shortage in the tow vehicle, rather than a way to carry generator fuel. And it worked! Once I built it, I never ran short of tow vehicle fuel again. It works for generator gas too, of course, but if you have a dual fuel generator set up for propane, and run out of tow vehicle gas, you are still up the creek.

It was cheap and easy to build, and on the last day of any trip, I would empty it into the tow vehicle gas tank, to keep the gas from "spoiling", and then refill before the next trip.
