My 4 yr old water heater started leaking as I was filling it for the first
time this year. It is a 6 gal. Seaward [Whale] unit and only connected to
the engine coolant circuit [no A/C on board, just 12 V]

Robert, I replaced mine with a whale(seaward) S1100, 11 gal, galvanized

It is quite possible (and it has happened to mine after changing the water

the glycol. To solve this, remove one end of the hose and fill it with the

No accumulator tank, the T/P valve is the only thing I changed, no other

Sounds like lots of air in the Hot Water Tank to me, which drives hot water
backwards out of the tank into the cold water lines when you turn the cold
tap on.
I'd think you should be able to blead the air out through the new blo-off
valve as it should be the highest thing on the tank.

Jim:
Running the hot water for 10 or 15 minutes should get rid of any air bubble in
the water system but I don't think this is the problem.
There should be a check valve in the high-pressure water line to separate the
cold water supply from the hot water from the tank--check the functioning of
Mine behaves similarly. You should be able to bleed the tank from that new
valve. I will give it a shot as well.
I would guess you have a supply line laying on the hot water hose from the heat
exchanger.

I replaced my old Raritan which was completely rusted out with a Seaward 600
with galvanized exterior; uses heat exchanger or electric.
Three years now and it works great. I added some insulation to the exterior
case to reduce heat loss. Water stays hot for a long time after it is up to
temp.
