Heated under belly

While doing some work with the belly cover off I noticed that the 2" hose that heats the tanks does not come even close to the tanks.

I have an idea of how to make this work better. My thought was to get more of the 2" hose, install a "T", and encircle all the tanks. Also cut little slits in the hose to direct the heat towards the tanks. I might even find something to put something under the tank area to keep the heat in that area. Another brain storm was to duct some heat behind the UCD area.

So what do ya'll think or what has anybody else done. Bob:D:D

Bob,

When I winterized my Cyclone, prior to adding the insulation to my underbelly, I wrapped all 3 exposed sides of my 7 tanks with a 'radiant heat barrier'. Bought it at Home Depot on a long roll, it's about 4' wide. It looks like silver bubble-wrap. 'They' claim it reflects 98% of the heat back the direction from which it came! In the photo attached, you can see it on one tank already. I held it on with some of that Nashua foil tape, also from HD. :)
