--- Quote from: awemawson on July 18, 2015, 02:28:46 PM ---Very nice Eric, My only concern would be if that Ty-Wrap will stand up to immersion in diesel for protracted periods. --- End quote --- Unlike here, most American trucks don't run on Diseasel.... Eric mentioned a gas tank in the top post, so I presume this is a Petroleum Spirit powered vehicle... |

Same question though Ade. I've seen Ty-Wraps degrade and pop off on cable trays in oil refineries just from the vapours, never mind total immersion. My choice would be a Jubilee clip in that position. |

Stainless steel Ty- wrap for some added bling :lol: |

I have a gizmo called a 'Band-It' which would be ideal. Clamps a stainless band of any size. http://www.band-it-idex.com/en/products/Band%20%26%20Buckle/Valu-Strap%20Band,%20Valu-Strap%20Plus%20and%20Valuband.html |

I'd have to go hunting to find what plastics aren't dissolved by hydrocarbons, and whether or not they make tie wraps out of them. But yes, in this case, I'd be inclined to use a jubilee clip. Or fab up a "split bracelet" to hold it, with a screw to hold the bracelet together. |
