Duct tape is not a good conductor of heat. Its composition and thickness make it a poor conductor, so it does not readily transfer heat.
To install heat tape on roof vent pipes, start by wrapping the heat tape around the pipe, ensuring it is properly positioned and secured with tape or clips. Next, plug in the heat tape to a GFCI outlet and follow the manufacturer's instructions for temperature settings and safe usage. Make sure to inspect the heat tape regularly to ensure it is working properly and not damaged.
no duck tape would melt with the heat of the engine and you would need metal supports so the duck tape doesn't cave in on you
With heat wrap/ heat tape, there are a few models that have a thermostat built onto the cord that keep the temp above freezing. Then you should wrap an insulation tape around the heat tape.
Heat tape is just for keeping the pipes from freezing, it does not heat the water. That's what the hot water heater is for.

Masking tape is typically not highly flammable with normal sun exposure. However, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight and heat can potentially make the tape more prone to catching fire. It is always best to store tape away from direct sunlight and heat sources to minimize any fire risk.
Tape conducts heat through a process called conduction. When you touch a piece of tape to a warm surface, the heat is transferred from the surface to the tape through direct physical contact.
make sure you have a heat light
You can find heat tape in many places. I would check www.ebay and www.amazon.com first to see if you can find some heat tape for a good price. You may also try Menard's or Lowe's.
You can find heat tape at any home improvement store or warehouse as well as any automotive parts stores. Be sure to read and confirms specifications for the application or applications you need the heat tape for.
