Default RE: tank mounting

The only way to mount a tank on a profile IMO is with no more than 2 or 3 rubber bands
across the tank to a couple hooks with a 1/2 inch foam rubber pad between the tanks and the fuse.

Zip ties pretty much guarantee foaming.

Default RE: tank mounting

I just make a wire U and push it through the two holes through the fuse then bend hooks on the end. It can be pretty small wire. I usually use .035"-.050".
Some guys use the screw in hooks like you would use to hang small trinkets from. I think the wire is more secure.
On 40 size profiles I use 6 oz. for 2-stroke and 8 oz. for 4-strokes. I like the Hayes tanks.
