SCUBA Divers - Mopar Bed Rails + SCUBA Tanks Mounting Options?

[Barnaby’sdad]

Any divers here? Just curious if anyone has found a good option for mounting tanks/cylinders vertically and securing with the Mopar rails. I’ll just lie them in the bed for now, but when my camper shell shows up, I’d like to be able to mount them upright to make better use of the bed. I may order a few extra tie-down points and rig up some straps to those if no better options pop-up. Thank you.

Not sure if they are the same but I mounted my co2 tank with this quick fist clamp x2 but i have a molle panel in the bed.

Something like that could work, as I’d likely run a strap around each of them, as well, to be on the safe side. My tank diameters are 7.25” (HP100) and 8.00” (HP130).

I’ve just always found it interesting that with how expensive scuba cylinders are ($370+ for HP steel) there are not readily accessible well made transport options. The most common option is essentially a $1 pool noodle with a couple pieces of rope. A LOT of people don’t even strap them down when they hit the road.?
