I'm having difficulty getting the tank neck bungee around the valve and secured. Maybe a short loop of line or a caribiner that I could grab to pull the bungee?
Question Tricks/Hacks to stretch bungee around tank valve?

pls clarify.....is the bungee so tight that you have trouble pulling it, and then getting onto the tank valve? or are having trouble finding the bungee with your hand?

Bring the tank to you. I’ve seen many stuggles due to the tank being held out to see it.
OP
Fat fingers, I don't have a problem pulling the bungee out enough, but getting the loop secured is frustrating
I like the paracord loop idea!
If you’re setting up fresh bungees, add a bit of length for a finger-wide extra loop/knot to pull from (kinda like the paracord)
Rotate the tank/valve forcefully with the other hand, pointing it forward so it is easy to hook. (I'm assuming a loop bungee.) There's not much leverage (especially on steel cylinders), so time the bungee hook at max rotation.
If you have to see the valve to hook it, you'll need to place the tank where it is much harder to attach. Practice until you can do it without looking.
