Water Heater to Hot !!!!
Need to get another opinion.On my water heater the pop off valve keeps releasing when I run on gas. Put a new one in and it does the same thing. Did not run the temperature on the water but it is real...

I had to replace the pressure relief valve this summer. As the hot water heater got up to temp the relief valve would open and it spewed water (several gallons, I'm sure) until everything cooled down enough for the valve to close again.
It was the one time I didn't have my infrared thermometer with me so I couldn't verify the water temperature, but when I ran some into a cup and put it to my lips it was far from boiling hot. So I figured it wasn't the thermostat, and replacing the relief valve fixed the problem.
