Claim 8:
9. A hydrocarbon fluid storage structure for storing hydrocarbon fluids therein, the structure comprising:
a base frame;
a storage vessel supported on the base frame so as to be arranged to contain hydrocarbon fluids therein;
a heater in communication with the storage vessel so as to be arranged to heat the hydrocarbon fluids in the storage vessel, the heater comprising:
a heat exchanger vessel containing a heat exchange fluid therein, the heat exchange vessel including a lower portion received within the storage vessel and an upper portion received within the storage vessel, the upper and lower portions being in communication with one another at two spaced apart locations so as to define a continuous loop flow path arranged to recirculate the heat exchanger fluid therein in a continuous loop between the upper portion and the lower portion;
a heat source received within the lower portion of the heat exchanger vessel and being arranged to heat the heat exchanger fluid in the lower portion.
