freezing propane

Is there any reason a heat tape (designed to keep
pipes from freezing) wouldn't work wrapped around
a propane tank?

I use a small propane tank for raku and having to
wait for a chinook bringing above freezing
temperature to fire. It could be a long wait from
the current 25 below!
