Abstract

Tank tote bags for storing cylinders such as diving tanks, welding tanks, and medical tanks such as oxygen tanks, in separate compartments that can be arranged in either vertical upright positions or horizontal laid down positions. One bag version has two tanks that can be arranged side-by-side in a bag with a mesh material behind the tanks, an open front and open top, and horizontal and vertical straps for holding the tanks together and separate from one another. Another bag version has three tanks arranged in a triangular arrangement. And another version has five tanks arranged in a triangular configuration. A still another version has four tanks arranged in a stacked two by two arrangement in a bag with a closeable top. The bags can be used in pickup truck beds and boats, homes and garages. The bags can be lightweight and can be easily carried and handled by one hand and later folded into small compact spaces.
