[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1837102, member: 6291"] Oh ya, that's why I asked but that not some thing a lot of people know about. We used catalytic heaters all the time on valves that take pressure cuts. We had heat trace, methanol, the whole nine. I had one of those heaters short and and kill my battery on a truck. They have long cables to hook to you battery and I was hooked up. All the sudden I saw smoke from the engine bay. It was melting the coating on the cables. I had to get a rag and knock it off my battery. The truck threw a service engine code for a minute. I told the company if it fries my computer that on them. The big difference is all our equipment is just out in the open and exposed. It's not in building or any thing like up north. I went to ND and WY to do some things. Prod equip was in buildings and well heads would be under ground in some places. Companies here are not going to spend that money for one off events. Even wrapping and using heat trace on every thing is only good if you have power. [/QUOTE]
