    Tank cover for 36/4500 tanks?


    I have a 36/4500 tank on the way and I was wondering what people are using for tank covers. I prefer the neoprene covers, but I am open to suggestions. I know I can use tape if nothing else fits but I would like to have a protective cover since I am probably going to use this to let smaller kids use on my emek.

    There's a 36 cubic inch tank now??

    EDIT: would those water bottle sleeves fit? The wider ones for people who think they need to drink a barrel of water a day?

    I use two exalt tank butts, with a hole cut in the end of one for the regulator to stick out of.

      ive only ever seen 2 other folks do this!
      at one point, i had 3 tanks setup like this.
      i was inspired by the Angel Air tank ends

        exalt was thoughtful enough to give you a mold line to perfectly cut out for your reg

          BUT
          imo, the exalt tank butts are too big for the 36ci tanks.
          you COULD wrap them in hockey tape until they fit
          but heres what i did

          cheap ebay neoprene waders (this was actually a glove i cut the hand part off and used the "sleeve")
          with some camo tape for the butt so it doesnt slide so much. left the other end open so i can peel it back incase the field wants to verify im still good for hydro.

              Got home and took a pic. They meet perfectly in the middle.

                Oh yea, you need to use new ones that were not on normal sized tanks or they will be all floppy.

                Well i'm sold. Now I need to see if Exalt (or anyone who makes similar ones) makes one in white, so it looks like the baby tank has a diaper.

              Sorry to revive an old thread, but this thread helped me and I hope someone else can be helped by my comment.

              ANS Gear has a neoprene cover that fits the HK 36ci tank. I called them to have them test fit it and they said it fit, so I ordered it.

              This is what it looks like on the tank. It's not 100% skin tight onto the tank, but it's a very good fit. From front to back (threaded end to rounded butt end), it is very snug, around the body is a little bit loose, but not really noticeable.

              For $15 and from 2009, this cover does it for this old guy.

                Thanks for the info man! I just dinged the hell out of the gel coating on my tank so I'm extra motivated to make something happen
