When using space heaters no heat gets into area around water and black tanks. Would it be possible
or practical to add a switch that would let the fan run and pull air through the heat ducts??

I am not so sure, since you would have to modify the circuit boards in your particular furnace and that might not be easy. I would be more likely to put a couple of the 200 watt Lasko MyHeat space heaters in the basement (http://www.amazon.com/Lasko-100-MyHeat-Personal-Ceramic/dp/B003XDTWN2), maybe with a thermostatically controlled outlet (http://www.amazon.com/Farm-Innovators-TC-3-Thermostatically-Controlled/dp/B0006U2HD2). You probably only need to protect the water tank and water bay, the black tank generates some heat on its own.

X2 IMO. Easier and probably safer. You also want to consider any pipes or the water pump that might be in danger. Sometime they may require a little heat wrap with a built in thermostat. Naturally it deepens on location.
