Insulating tank?
I am thinking in order to more quickly warm up the fuel in my tank to cover the heater hoses going to the heater with insulating wrap, but to also put something over the tank as much as I can as well. Haven't thought much about what to use, but would want it to stick on pretty well and not be too thick. Maybe some kind of rubberized foam material, like about 3/8" thick, with self-adhesive on it.
Also I want to also apply some sort of stick-on electric heater pad to the tank underside (120 volt) to warm it while plugged in at night. Would put that on with the insulation under it.
I had a little trouble going over a pass one cold night last winter when it dropped down to about -5F, the fuel heater couldn't keep the fuel warm enough and I started losing power. Luckily I made it over fine and dropped down to warmer temps and the problem subsided, but had it been colder I may have found myself dead alongside the road on a very cold night
