Inner Tube For Tank Bands

[RIHappyDiver]

I love it, but something about it feels wrong. Have you ever had it snag or tangle on stuff?

It would seem if you kept them lined up with your snaps that they would be all good. Not sure how easy or difficult that would be.

The ball itself has no sharp corners ...//...

I think that the concern is with anything that won't slide through a 'V'.

Maybe it’s late, maybe it will be obvious once it’s explained, or maybe I just don’t understand, but please explain what you mean ’cause I don’t understand.

Wreck diving.

Jagged edges everywhere. You want to be able to slide through a ragged hole without a second thought...

See, I knew it would be obvious once explained! Is it just the ball or is the thickness of the bungee also a concern?

Ball. Bungee with LONG tails is fine...

I ended up getting these:
Roadpro® RP7BAND 7" Rubber Bands With Uv & Ozone Resistant Coating 5-pack
https://www.amazon.com/Roadpro-Rubber-Resistant-Coating-5-pack/dp/B00O1DLF8I

Thanks to the guys that posted those. I got a set of 7 in the mail today, and they physically rock. I've put them on an AL40, AL80, and Steel 85s (So 5.25 to 7.25") and they will work great. The only question is how well they will handle saltwater, tannic water, etc. Finally, the bright orange color will make it easy to identify tanks as my own.

What are your plans to be able to pull them out to re stow a hose with gloves on? Just curious.

you can tie bungee loops or get short velcro loops to put on them

I restored a family Honda CT70 and found by accident the 4x10 HD tubes work perfectly.
