Bad water heater?

Recommended Posts

I purchased a 1984 Toyota Dolphin. My question is why is there water coming out of what looks to be the combustion chamber of my hot water when I hooked up my water to shore? I am thinking that the previous owner may have let water freeze in it.

Carey,

That's possible, you should dig around and find the exact spot of the leakage. If it's around the connections, plex pipes that could be the source.

 

Let me ask do you use a water pressure regulator when hooked into city water? If not you should, the high pressure of some city lines will cause leaks. I've been there...😅

 

Cheers

Gary

It is  common for the tank to develop pin holes on the very bottom with age.
