    The insulation is compressed between the wrapper skin and the barrel. Trailers specified for extra high temps got an extra inch or two of insulation b/4 the skin is applied. This the opposite of your home where the insulation batts are left 'fluffed' up w/ air.

    I've always had to rely on the insulation to keep a load from gelling. Ran a load of molten wax last winter from the Richmond, CA to Longmont, CO. Spent about two hours with a Bernz-o-matic torch to get the valves open. Hopefully the new tank will have a steam pan.
