Ah, good point Kees. On a road trip coming out of Death Valley on a =
115degF day climbing the Panamint Mountains my BJ8's temp started =
climbing rapidly towards 212. I turned the heater on full blast--not =
fun, but better than boiling. Temp held steady at 212 until we crested =
the mountains and it started to come down and we were back to just =

I suppose you could close it if you don't expect hot weather and, if you =
think of it, turn it on if the weather turns.

The tap does work, before you all shout at once!
