We have an electric immersion heater in the tank, but it doesn't heat up the whole tank just the top little portion. You need a coil (or two) in there to heat it properly.

Our coils are heated via solid fuel stoves. How do you heat yours?


You can get longer immersion heater elements which will sit lower in your tank. I have changed mine to the longest I could find - a 27" one, and adjusted the thermostat to maximum so I can make the most of my free electric when the sun shines. :D
At the last count:- Peugeot 531 pro, Dawes Discovery Tandem, Dawes Kingpin X3, Raleigh 20 stowaway X2, 1965 Moulton deluxe, Falcon K2 MTB dropped bar tourer, Rudge Bi frame folder, Longstaff trike conversion on a Giant XTC 840 :D
