That's how I interpreted the issue... It's caused by the ELECTRIC element being too hot or something and causing the premature failure of the boiler welds. Then the stuff in the system can leak out and IF the LP is on at the same time it leaks out, that's what becomes flammable.
From what I understand now, the 'fix' only adds additional shielding to prevent the leaking stuff from coming in direct contact with the LP flame?? They do nothing with the element itself, so if it's the "hot" one, it'll still be "hot" and cause the failure anyway...
I'm just gonna run on LP until I get the fix AND get a lower watt element..;)
