Is the tank leaking from any place?
Styrofoam is JUST an insulating jacket........spray foam the missing area
That 4E model began production in late 2003 and is still the current production model for combo units...yours just has the 'heat exchanger' tube
Being the current production model.......all parts are available
Styrofoam cover can be replaced
Top half.....Atwood 91239
Bottom half....Atwood 91238
Tank...Atwood 91028

The only reason I was thinking of replacing the tank was to make things easier. I saw that the Styrofoam was available, along with other parts. I was just thinking that, with the tank being 17 years old, maybe I should replace it while I had everything out and not have to mess with it again. Plus it already comes with some of the things I was thinking of replacing (element, pressure valve) in my current tank before I reinstall it. I haven't made a decision yet.
In that case ......buy a new complete water heater (tank, controls, door, jacket etc)
Silly to just purchase tank and have old burner/gas valve/controls.
Plus the time/effort in tear old apart and rebuilding old (gaskets/rings to attach tank to draw pan etc)
NEW GCH10A-4E
