1995 Fleetwood Tioga Montara - hot water tank leak
De-winterized the RV (Ford chassis) yesterday.
Put the buttom plastic drain plug in, switched from bypass to normal.
Filled the tank, at the end started gushing out of the top connection.
First thought: freeze up. But then: that would not occur on top of the tank
I will get the make and model of the heater a bit later.
First searching for DIY instructions, came across one video showing an Anode Rod for corrosion protection, and the recommendation to change that often. Have not been aware of it, never changed. Is this the likely cause (anode corrosion rod worn, no tank corroded, creating the leak)?
