If in the end, all you are looking to achieve is heating the H2O2 tank up a bit, I'd go with an even simpler approach by using Nitrous Oxide tank heaters available at your local performance auto parts shop/catalog. You can get flexible "tape" style heaters and couple them together around the tank. Not too much draw on power and will run on 12/24 volts.

Strikes me as simpler to have the heater aboard the vehicle. Wrapping the peroxide tank in the kind of heating tape used on dew caps would probably be sufficient. Power would be from a huffer, per standard (airplane) practice. -R -- "...And the last thing I remember is asking, 'What could go wrong?'" _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
