[QUOTE="kme, post: 14590, member: 113"] Pick brains time. Ready? Just been to a call-out this evening. Gas fire & back boiler been condemned today. 3 kids in house, no heat or DHW. Gasman says "You can use your immersion!" Switch on - poof! RCD blows. Call me. I go. Find 20 yr old immersion & tank - not been used for yonks. Corroded to hell & back. Going back to fit new immersion tomoz. Here`s the question: Bearing in mind they`re having a combi fitted in approx 4 weeks, I want to get this immersion (which looks like it was installed same time as the tank..) out of the cylinder, without wrecking the cylinder. I don`t want to have to fit a new cyl; only for it to be ripped out & scrapped in a month. Anyone got any tips on removing??? Obviously, I`ll not be draining the tank until the nut has cracked; at the same time, if the tank ruptures instead it`ll be flippin` messy......... Your thoughts, please. [/QUOTE]
