Default Two heaters on the bottle.

This is less of a factor with spring/summer coming but...

It takes too long to get to the psi in the winter. Could I put another bottle heater around the bottle? Would it have to be run as another individual heater or can I tie it into the existing?

I have mine wrapped with insulation I used the kind like goes under the hood has aluminum foil backing. You may want to give that a try. I don't drive mine in the winter so don't know if it will work at real cold temp but it should help.

I have a 5 lb bottle with a 10 lb heater it is double wrapped and gets hot fast.
But with summer here in Texas that won't be a problem.. :cheers:

Same here Red-Y. I have the 5lber too with the 10lb heater and it takes about 6 minutes to get up to 1000psi from 600psi. Works great. I think the 10lb heaters should really be for the 5lb bottles and they need to make a larger heater for 10lb bottles. Go for 2 heaters woould work well, will they fit length wise though?
