Title: My bad memory
Post by: GaDawg on February 04, 2011, 02:01:38 PM: I saw or read someplace a couple of weeks ago about these straps to tie down a co2 tank. I should have written it down because now I can't remember the name. Can anyone help.
Thanks
Eric

Post by: GaDawg on February 09, 2011, 08:27:32 PM: Don't know yet but I do know the quick fist are to small so I guess I need to find something like a fire extinguisher (sp) mount.
I have a #20 tank.

I have a Powertank bracket but there is a cheaper one out there as well.

You cannot use a C02 tank on its side and it will be a pain to remove a 20lb tank every time you want to air up. Here was the setup in my Cherokee and I could air up every corner with a 20' hose. I will be soon replicating the setup in my 4 Runner.
