Holding tanks frozen. Now what?
Ryan, while I was in Montana last Jan thru April, I went to the lumber yard and bought some rigid foam insulation boards. The stuff comes in 4x 8 sheets. There is a steel channel where my tanks are located and this foam will fit up there. I used some tape to keep it closed and put an electric heater in that compartment. Worked great. This year, I'm staying in Texas

Maybe not the entire tanks (not sure how to tell), but the drains are
frozen, anyway. I got the grey valve open and I know the tank is half
full but nothing comes out. Can't even budge the black valve. Any ideas?

Has anyone wrapped their drain lines with heat tape? Good idea?
