Shut the whole thing down, drain it after shutting off water to it, then fill half way, and drain that. Final fill, shut off gas and the breaker to any electronic spark.
When you are ready to fire it back up, drain half the tank, fill and crank it back up. This will deal with any sediment that may have accumulated and you should have good water once the hot water makes it to the faucet. clay On 12 Dec 2007, at 14:26, Allan Streib wrote: > Is it better for a gas-fired water heater to be drained and shut off > if it is not going to be used for a period of months, or simply turn > off the gas but leave the water in the tank, or leave the gas and > water on but set at minimum temperature? > > Allan > -- > 1983 300D > 1966 230 > > _______________________________________ > http://www.okiebenz.com > For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ > For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
