## Overview

The Powerblanket Lite PBL500 is a 720-watt insulated heating blanket designed to fit 500-gallon horizontal propane tanks. It maintains a preset temperature of 100°F to improve propane flow and efficiency, reducing costly refills during cold weather. With a 15-foot power cord and certified safety standards, it offers a reliable, easy-to-install solution for year-round propane performance.

## Description

The PBL500 is an insulated gas cylinder heater specifically designed to fit a 500-gallon horizontal gas cylinder tank. The heater is built for use with 120 volts AC, drawing 6 amps thus producing 720 watts. It has a preset thermostat set for 100 F / 38 C (± 10 F / 5 C). If you have a home, cabin, or business fueled by propane, you know how frustrating and expensive it can be when your propane pressure decreases in cold weather. No one wants the burden of having to constantly fill a tank in order to run your house, cabin, or business. If you have the right tools, you can enjoy propane efficiency year-round and avoid the pain of frequent refills. Powerblanket Lite gas cylinder warmers offer residential heating for your propane needs and will help with efficiency when temperatures decrease. Propane tanks supply the best output when warm, whether it is the ambient temperature that is keeping your tank warm or an external heat source. Gas volume is determined by the number of molecule collisions occurring within the container, and these collisions increase as the temperature increases. Powerblanket Lite gas cylinder warmers afford you increased propane flow in mild weather conditions. In extreme cold, the Powerblanket energy will go towards heating the exterior of the tank in order to prevent as much heat loss as possible. Powerblanket Lite gas cylinder warmers will improve propane tank efficiency. Increase your gas mileage with Powerblanket Lite gas cylinder warmers. Powerblanket Lite line is designed for heating jobs on a smaller scale. These models feature a lower power density than Powerblanket Industrial or Powerblanket Xtreme products. Rest assured that these heaters are the real deal! They are more efficient and safer than other heating elements on the market and certified to ETL, UL, CSA CE safety standards. What will this product do for me? In mild weather, 720 Watts will allow additional 13 lbs/hour of propane to flow. What about the insulation? In extreme cold, the heater energy will go towards heating the tank. To maximize heater’s benefit in cold weather, additional insulation must be added to the tank to prevent heat loss. What size gas tank will it fit? Designed to fit on the belly of a horizontal 500-gallon propane tank. Requires a minimum of 40” spacing between tank legs. Requires 52” arc on the bottom of the tank to be smooth walled and free of protrusions.

Review: A Lifesaver in Harsh Northern Winters! - Living in Northern Minnesota, we deal with brutal cold spells—think -30°F for days on end. The Power Blanket Lite PBL500 has been an absolute game changer. Before using it, our propane tank would struggle to keep up or even freeze entirely during the worst cold snaps. Not anymore! Setup was quick and hassle-free—just wrap it around the tank and plug it in. It’s been running strong and consistently keeping the propane flowing, even during the coldest nights. You can literally feel the difference in performance. If you rely on propane in extreme winter conditions, this is a must-have. Reliable, easy to use, and truly effective. Worth every penny!
Review: Does what it is supposed to do - Is a power pig, Wish it had a thermostat. Temps here dropped to -50F and then jumped up to -10F but I had to keep the blanket always plugged as I was traveling.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: It description says, "Quickly heats cylinder to a preset 100 f/ 38 c ( 10 f/5 c)", but how long is "Quickly"?  Could you give me an approximate range**
A: I can’t tell you how long it takes to melt ice. We plug it in before a snow storm arrives and leave it on until the storm passes. The blanket works great, worth the cost.

**Q: What temp is the thermostat preset at?  can you use the ght2002j-fs thermostat controller with this pbl500 blanket?**
A: Our Powerblanket Lite model PBL500 uses an internal fixed thermostat designed to maintain a blanket temperature of approximately 90° ± (10° F) / 32°C (± 5° C). In theory, yes, you could use our thermostat controller model GHT2002J-FS with this Powerblanket heater but it is not recommended. You don't want to produce too much heat when warming a gas tank and we've done extensive testing to ensure our fixed thermostat is set to an ideal temperature that is safe and effective in warming a gas tank in cold weather.
