- - Designed to hold any RotopaX tank up to 3 gallons.
- - It is recommended that you mount the RotopaX Tank Holder on a vertical surface (back glass on SUV, side window of van) with the mounts stacked vertically.
- Q: How strong are the vacuum mounts?
- A: “Strong like bull.” 4.5” vacuum mounts have a rated pull strength of 120lbs, pulling straight out from center. Pull strength on a shear load, i.e. pulling from the side, will be less. 6” vacuum mounts are 210lbs rated. Obviously, putting multiple vacuum mounts on a single product multiplies the maximum holding power.
- Q: How long do the vacuum mounts last before they lose power?
- A: There’s no set time limit on our vacuum mounts. It depends in part on the surface you attach to, the condition of the vacuum mount, the load you put on it, and other factors. As for surfaces to attach to, vacuum mounts in general were designed to carry big sheets of glass and other solid surface materials, so smoother, flatter surfaces are ideal. Clean surfaces and clean SeaSuckers go a long way to maximizing the hold time. In any event, if the vacuum mount begins to lose some vacuum, it will warn you so you can get it back to full power before it comes off. The vacuum pump’s plunger will extend from the pump cylinder when it starts to lose power, revealing an orange indicator band. Once you see orange, that’s your cue to repump your SeaSucker. For car racks, the simplest thing to do is to check the rack before you get in your vehicle, and check it each time you stop for gas, food, or the bathroom.
- Q: Do I need to clean the surface I’m going to attach my SeaSucker to?
- A: Clean off any surface dirt from the mounting surface before attaching your SeaSucker. While you’re at it, make sure the sealing edge of the vacuum pad is clean too. You don’t have to clean the mounting surface with alcohol wipes, as one overly-enthusiastic customer told us they do, but a quick wipe with a wet paper towel or napkin wouldn’t hurt. Let us make it easy for you: get one of our Cleaning Kits.
- - Made to hold any RotopaX tank up to 3 lb.
- - Attaches to metal, glass or fiberglass surfaces.
- - 3/8" thick high-density polyethylene (HDPE) deck for strength and durability.
- - When mounted vertically: approx. 15" tall, 2.75" deep, 6.5" wide
- - Approx. 2.05 lb.
- - Powered by two 6" SeaSucker mounts.
Customer Reviews
- GAGeary A.Verified Buyer1 week agoRated 4 out of 5 stars4.5 gal fuel tank
I used my 4.5 gal. tank on the two tank holders, (4 six inch cups) one placed horizontal one vert. worked very well. Drove 180 miles rock solid, Camped for 6 days in the van, night time temp. dropped top mid 30's. After second night I had to pump up one cup on the holder mounted horizontally and every morning after even after using my fuel....is it a bad suction cup? that 's the reason for the 4 star.
SSeaSucker1 week agoHi Geary,
Our vacuum mounts are not designed to last longer than 24 hours without the orange indicator band making itself visible. In fact, when you first see orange appear, that's an indication the mount has lost about 20% of its strength, and needs to be re-pumped. Another pump or two gets it back to full strength once again. Glad you're enjoying it.
- DKDino K.Verified Buyer1 month agoRated 5 out of 5 starsVery strong!
This thing is incredibly strong, well made, and easy to use. I was thinking that it would be great to incorporate a molle panel system for the sea sucker. Where you can mount it on the inside of the glass at the back of the car.
- SMSpencer M.Verified Buyer2 months agoRated 5 out of 5 starsStrong and gives me the flexibility to move tanks around without drilljng
I’ve got a water and gas rotopax and like to move them around rigs / campers and this is much better than drilling into my rig.
Drove 5 hours at highways speeds and didn’t even need another pump. Holds strong.
- DSDamon S.Verified Buyer3 months agoRated 5 out of 5 starsSecure, removable.
This is an early review, full disclosure. So far, has proven reliable. Well-written instructions, fast shipping, well-packaged. Performs well even in a more horizontal orientation than recommended. Does exactly what I need it to do and then goes away when I don’t need it. Brilliant.
- KRKeith R.Verified Buyer3 months agoRated 5 out of 5 starsThey really suck!
I love these Rotopax tank holders. They really suck and do the job! I was trying to find a way to carry extra fuel on my Subaru Forester Wilderness without making any modifications. These work great and are easy to remove when I am not on the trail. Perfect for what I needed.

It's time to select the right HUSKE Plugs to fit your bike. If you don’t know what front hub your bike has, it’s not that hard to figure out - all you have to do is measure it.
First, get a ruler or tape measure showing millimeters (sorry Americans, the bike world is firmly in the grip of METRIC TYRANNY!).
Step 1: measure the diameter of the hole at the end of your forks - it will be either 9mm, 12mm, 15mm or 20mm.
Step 2: measure the distance between the holes on your fork - it will be either 100mm or 110mm. Now purchase the HUSKE Plugs that match your measurements. There’s a color coded chart below that will help you make sure you’re buying the right set.
