The Tanksetter - Compact Portable Propane Tank Base
Rock and roll is great on the radio, but not when it comes to portable propane tanks! The Tanksetter® keeps propane tanks stable and upright in vehicles, in use and in storage. Propane cylinders are notorious for tipping over and rolling around in a vehicle. This creates many safety hazards. A loose tank can damage fragile items in the vicinity. The tank itself can be damaged, including the internal Overflow Protection Device (OPD). A rolling cylinder is also annoying and distracting to the driver as it crashes loudly from one side of the vehicle to another!
The Tanksetter® is a very simple device that attaches easily to the ring on the bottom of most 20 to 40 lb tanks. Two eye bolts attach through the holes in the base ring, keeping the tank secure, stable, and upright. The Tanksetter® has been thoroughly tested for strength, rigidity and stability in many situations and will withstand continued use for many years. The Tanksetter® is a perfect accessory for any propane powered device that uses an unsecured tank, such as camp stoves, portable grills, tank top heaters, turkey fryers, fish cookers, mosquito traps, propane campfires and fire pits. The unique design of the Tanksetter® keeps the tank off the ground, eliminating rust rings on decks or car seats.
Duke Creek Outdoors LLC is located in central Massachusetts. The Tanksetter® is patented and is manufactured and shipped from our manufacturing facilities in Massachusetts.
Sturdy, Durable and Made in the USA!
Keeping the tank secure and upright is the top safety tip for proper handling of propane tanks. A tipped tank prevents the pressure relief safety valve from operating properly. The safety valve, built in to the cylinder valve, releases propane vapor if the pressure inside the tank exceeds safe limits, which could happen if the tank is left in direct sunlight or a closed vehicle. A cylinder on its side will still vent if necessary, but it will release liquid propane, which is much more dangerous.
Treat it right, treat it to a Tanksetter!
Keep your tank off the ground. Eliminate rust rings on your deck. Keep your tank safe and stable when using your tank top heater, turkey fryer, or lobster pot!
