Scuba Tank Holder Scuba Diving Tank Carrier for 3 Tanks Plastic PVC Tank Rack Holder Tubes Dive Cylinder Rack for Keep Your Tanks from Rolling During Transportation in Cars Trucks Boats

I often need to transport my scuba tanks in the back of my SUV to local dive sites. I mostly transport two tanks, but I sometimes need to transport three tanks, so this system looked like a good option for those times.On first inspection, the system itself seemed very lightweight, compact, and durable. I have used others that are larger and bulkier to store, but this one packs up nicely and is compact for easy storage.Everything seemed good until I started to use the system. Both the materials and the design are an issue. Considering you are using a heavy aluminum or metal tank, crushing or smashing the hollow plastic tubes or tube caps can be easy. That is not a huge issue because you can just be careful, which you should be anyway. The biggest problem is the design. They used bungees and pretty flexible bungees in the design. This allows the heavy tanks to stretch the cord and rock back and forth. Sitting in the back of my SUV with other things packed around, it is not unusable, but in the back of a large bed pickup truck, I would be afraid the tanks would pop right out and over the mounts or, at the very least, roll back and forth and hit each other.I may or may not continue to use this tank holder. It seems ok sometimes, but it does best when you have three tanks to help secure each other and stretch the bungee out. I would feel more comfortable if the bungee had less stretch.

These are a simple device to prevent your scuba-tanks from rolling around and banging into each-other during regular driving. Though you'll probably still want to use a ratchet strap. You could also make this yourself DIY in a few minutes.
