Where are your tank heater hoses connected? I may have an idea.

It looks like the bottom intake on the tank heater got teed into the output of the water pump, or whatever is a 5/8" hose right above the alternator.
The output loops and disappears under the passenger side of the engine. I have no idea where it goes. I couldn't see from the top or looking up as best I could from the bottom.
Is it at all a good sign that the top radiator hose gets close to 85F? Seems not nearly hot enough, though.
