The latching metal straps that secure the two 30 lbs. propane tanks in our new Solitude have been difficult to work with from the get-go. They barely go around the propane tanks and are extremely hard to latch or unlatch. I purchased two extra 30 lb. DOT propane tanks to give us some extra capacity this winter and, when I rotated one of the new tanks into service today, couldn't get the bottom strap to latch around it properly. The tank must be 1/8" larger in circumference than the OEM tank. :(. All of the places that stock the OEM-style metal straps seem to be out of them at this time. Does anyone have a suggesting for an alternative that would be both safe and legal? Would EPDM straps with eye hooks or 10,000 lb. web straps be OK or would that not meet US DOT requirements? Open to any ideas...
