willman Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 My daughter has a combi boiler, upstairs he has a large tank with a little tank on top of it (obviously not a cylinder as i know it). The small tank on top has decided to leak through several perforations and flood through the ceiling. Any advice what to do ,can it be repaired or replaced?

skinz Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Perforations usually mean replace. In the meantime, isolate and drain faulty tanks. Combi with system type tanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willman Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'm sure its a combi and an unvented tank with pressure vessel o top. I was surpised it had a tank tbh. Turned boiler and water off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 There are a few heating engineers who have contributed in the boiler and heating megathread http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1090401 I would recommend contacting one of the gas safe registered engineers for advice. On my own recommendation, I have employed both Corgigasman, and JBradleybz, who are both Gas safe registered, to deal with my recent gas installation and heating problems, and I have been very pleased with their work.

willman Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 I've got one or two of them in my business card file but didn't want to bother them on a Sunday - unless they were looking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a tank is perforated it has perished-it does not sound like a combi but sounds like a F&E tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well unfortunately it is a combi - the tank however does sound like an F&E , but i believe its an expansion vessel as part of a sealed/closed sysyem.

Yes some expansion vessels are fitted in line where an internal vessel is inadequate.The external vessels can be replaced quite simply and there is no need to use a gas trained fitter as it does not involve the combustion process.
