A heating system for a fiber composite high pressure gas storage tank for maintaining the temperature of the gas within the tank and the gas flow components associated with one or more boss at the tank ends above the lower design tolerance limit for the tank and flow control assembly, wherein the tank is formed from a polymeric binder having embedded therein longitudinally extending conductive and resistive fiber material strands, comprising an electric power source interconnected with the conductive and resistive tank wall whereby the fibers in the tank wall comprise a heater for warming the tank system such that the temperature of the components associated with the tank assembly does not drop below the lower tolerance temperature limit of the tank assembly. |
