Tank boot/mount?

[jvrobert]

I have the Omega 75cu ft tank and I'm trying to find a tank boot so it will stand up. Anybody seen one that will fit?

I see some 6.9" ones out there, not sure if those will work or not. Worst case I guess I could wrap the tank in something to fit.

Also - is it safe to store the tank in a hot Phoenix garage? I'm assuming it is, I would imagine the added pressure from the heat would be minuscule compared to the tolerances for the tank.

And last question - what about wall mounts, anybody got any clever ideas for one, or seen a good one out there somewhere? I tried to find a fire extinguisher wall mount that would be big enough but didn't see any.

Thanks!

I'm looking for the same thing. I measured my 88 cu ft tank & it appears to be around 6.9" also. There are several round bottomed boots on Amazon.
I'm going to ask the owner of the dive shop where I get my tank filled.

This one has a little room for variance on the size of the bottle:

Hmm.. that one actually looks pretty good. It's hard to tell for sure but it looks reasonably tall which is what I'd want since the tank is tapered to the bottom. It's a bit big for mine (the 75 cuft is only 6.3" diameter) but I could wrap some sort of tape or something to add thickness.

Your 75 cu ft tank is actually 66 or something like that in real life.  I have the same one-- in SCBA ratings it's a 45min.   I bought a standard SCUBA cover at the local dive shop where I get air fills and it fits perfectly.   The shop did not want me to put a boot on it though-- they are a VERY tight fit and could damage the tank if taking on/off all the time.  Shop wants to be able to visually inspect the tank before they fill.

For wall mounting I just bought the SCUBA tank holders (two cradles and two elastic bands).  It's very similar to the ones sold by Joe B and Airhog.
