Default Guys with bottle under back seat

Hey I have my bottle mounted under the back seat and was wondering what yall do with the heater. Cause my bottle is touching the bottom of the seat and I know the bottle heaters gets pretty worm. So do yall worry about the back seat or just raise it up when you go to the track?

Put the heater on the bottom side of the bottle, then go get some of the heat sheild fabric(like the NASA stuff) just to be safe if you're still concerned to line the bottom of that portion of you're seat.

I turned my heater on and let it sit for 20 minutes and hit it with a Fluke Infared.. it showed 240* in the center and 200* on the other porion of the heater.. Now that I have 2 extra heaters I'm goin to completly wrap my bottle.. that should warm it up faster.

Just make sure you use a heavy gauge wire to the heater...
