Great Tank Base
These bases are much better than I expected, as it's almost impossible to tip a tank
over (full or empty) when the base and the tank have properly been placed together. I
bought 2 bases and hauled 2 empty tanks in my truck to be filled and when I lifted them
out of the truck, the bases stayed connected to the tanks. While driving, the units did not
slide around in the truck and after they were filled, I lifted them back in the truck with the
bases staying in place once again. I don't see how anybody could not be happy with
these tank bases and in my opinion, this was a very good investment!

Simple
Someone tell me why they can't make propane tanks in this shape to begin with? What can I say? It works, requires no tools, provides a nice contrast for your otherwise boring white or silver tank, it's hollow so it can't double as a water bowl, it's too thick to be used as a Frisbee, it would look really special if you painted on a bow tie.

Does what it says.
Takes the hassle out of propping the propane. Snaps on the bottom of tank and comes off
quite easily. Made of heavy duty plastic so it's pretty versatile under a variety of conditions.

Great item
Anyone that has hauled propane tanks should get these. I bought two originally, but still needed one more as I have three tanks! The others worked so well, I had to get another one for the third tank! Very stable, I drive about four miles round trip to fill my tanks in Tucson traffic, haven't had a mishap yet! My tanks stay upright and don't move, I was worried as I have a bed liner in my truck, doesn't seem to phase these at all! Highly recommend these!

Great Product
I'be been looking for another tank foot for 10 years and here it is at camping world. This is a great product for moving tanks to and from camp sites or home. Have a medical problem and couldn't easily move my tanks to the truck and back to their resting place in the back of the house - this product helps me carry a tank and it is the best stabilizer in the back of the jeep or my truck to and from the porpane retailer down the road.

Good for Stabilizing 20# Tanks
I obtained one for 20# tank and like how it stabilizes the tank. I found it very hard to tip
tank and tank fit snugly in the foot. Time will tell if plastic is UV stabilized. I have an as
yet unfounded fear it wil become very brittle, we'll see.

Black Tank Foot
This a great item, I have always had problems with my propane tank in the back of my truck if you did not tie it down it would be rolling around, with this tank foot you just push the tank into it and it stays upright, great Item.

How much does this add to the height of the tank? I am trying to find a stabilizer that when attached will still fit under the tonneau of my truck.
No more than an inch, if that even.

Is there a bottom, or is this just a collar.
Looking for a base that will keep my tank above the limestone patio stone. If it has a floor, it could work, if it just a collar, then I have metal on stone. Please advise
The interior is mostly empty with a cross brace to keep the bottom of the tank off the ground. If an enclosed tank foot is preferred, while we do not carry it, the <a href=http://tanksetter.com>Tanksetter</a> would be recommended.
