Powerblanket PBL55F Full Coverage Drum Heating Blanket, 55 gal/208 L

Excellent product IMO. We use this in an RV to heat a 20 pound cylinder. Tank pressure (per one of those cheap gauges that you screw into the tank outlet) would register into the "yellow" area, indicating tank pressure was low. After adding this blanket, pressure would bounce back into the "green" zone, just like a full tank on a hot day. I know. Those gauges don't get a lot of respect, but it's what I have, so I'm passing along the information. On a cold night without the blanket and a partially empty tank, it's likely that our RV furnace would have been starved for fuel after running for awhile, so it would probably have shut off before the RV got warm even though there was propane in the tank. This blanket keeps the liquid warm enough to continue producing good pressure down to the end of the tank. I've used it now through several months of the coldest parts of the winter, and have not had any issues with the blanket or with keeping the tank warm. Very happy.

Winter of 2018-19 my propane bottle valves on my 5th wheel froze up numerous times when the outside temp was 5 degrees or colder. When that happened the heaters would not work and the water would freeze. These are expensive but they work like a champ. My propane compartment is nice and warm and the bottles no longer have a 1/4" of frost on them.

I ordered the PowerBlanket for my 20 lb propane tank connected to my heater for my tiny house just in time! It arrived right before a week of single digit and below zero weather. Previously I had experienced issues with inefficiency of propane being delivered to the heater inside the house in similar weather the winter before. The heat would shut off when there was still plenty of propane in the tank because the gas pressure was affected by the low temps.Not this year! I installed the PowerBlanket very easily right out of the box, and I got much longer tank life and zero problems like the year before.I hesitated to buy the PowerBlanket due to its price, but it was an investment that should last for many winters and brought me peace of mind that far exceeded its price tag. The thought of being without heat for a long duration of frigid weather will no longer cause me anxiety. I’m so glad I purchased the PowerBlanket and highly recommend it.

I use this product as a companion to a Mr. Heater propane space heater. What attracted me to this product was, small propane tanks losing efficiency in extreme temperatures. Last winter, we had several episodes where the tank would freeze up, the regulator would seize, and our only choice was to bring the tank inside to warm it up so that we could use our Mr. Heater heater. We've had this thing since mid November. Last night was the first MAJOR test, with 13 degree weather. It worked flawlessly. The blanket doesn't get so hot that you get scared to use it. It just provides passive steady heat- just enough to keep your tank unfrozen. The price was also a major attraction. Typically these blankets cost hundreds of dollars more. Would Recommend. Also, we bought a heavy duty extension cord to use this thing, but it turned out to be unneeded. The cord is quite long.

Bought 4 of these. Didn't use them until this past Friday, which was 2 days after the 30 day return window. Wrapped 4 drums on a pallet inside the heated warehouse. Plugged them up and left them for the weekend. Checked them on Monday and the outside of the drums were maybe 5 degrees above the warehouse inside ambient temperature. The only way a drum could get warmed up to the advertised 145 degrees is if the warehouse ambient temperature was 140 degrees. $1,579.40 down the toilet. These blankets are 400 watts (3.3 amps) each. To actually warm a drum, you need at least 1500 to 1800 watts (12.5 to 15 amps). Don't waste your money on these blankets.

I use this blanket on my propane fuel tank to run an emergency generator. It is -43 degrees below zero here in Fairbanks Alaska and the tank is toasty. I tested the Generator and it started (though reluctantly). Propane does not like these extreme temps). I added the automatic temp controller and the system seems to work well together. .

Used it for the first time and the Weber had all the propane it needed. Should have done this along time ago. Very well made. Cinch strap makes for an easy install. Nice length of heavy electrical cord is awesome.

This blanket is priced a little too high but it works great! We love in our 5th wheel full-time and the blanket significantly extends the time between needing to refill the bottle.Highly recommended!

It is great we can use the full bottle to the bottom.

Best cozy blanket to help us keep our 100lb tanks toasty warm through -35*C, to keep us warm.Best tank warmer to help use 98% of the tank.

Works exactly as expected. Very simple to use. Would be a much better product if it had two cinch straps instead of just the one.

Great product! Did exactly what I needed it to!

We live in Quebec Canada. We have winter that uusaly goes to -20F and we have seen -35F . So since we are using only propane for heating and did not knew that below -42 the propane does not evaporate anymore . we decided to buy a Powerblanket for our 420lb tank in 2018 just to be safe. Last year (2018-2019) we had a very long and cold winter. We had a contract (2018-2019) for propane that was $130 per month for 12 month based on our 2017 usage We did have a very cold winter that did reach quite a few -30 to -36. We renew our contract in august and to our surprise the contract for 2019-2020 is now $75 per month for 12 month based on the 2018 usage. Colder winter with less usage. We did not expexted to be that good, but it is
