Steve I used silicone sheet heaters to heat trace two 20,000 gal. bio fuel
tanks a couple of years ago for a friend that is a fuel jobber.
They must be working fine because he hasn't hollered. I put the heaters on
and then had the tanks insulated with a removable panel over the heaters.
They have built in thermostats that are set to come on at hmmmm. I think we
set them to come on at 40 deg F and go off at 60 deg. F.

You can also get silicone sheet heaters that you clean and stick to the
item you want to heat.

Much easier than freeze plug or drain plug styles.
