Aqua Hot

Another wrinkle:  While topping off the Aqua Hot, I noticed that the over flow hose and nipple were not only broken off, but seems to have been sealed! There is even a plug in the hose.  What are the ramifications to this?  I'm guessing that we won't be using the diesel burner to heat.

Sven, you need to have the overflow hose connected from the main tank to the small overflow tank to allow for expansion of the fluid that's in the main tank as it heats up, weather it's diesel heat or electrical heat!

You definitely need to braze or silver solder a nipple on the neck and attach it to an overflow tank.  Is the tank still there?

Is this what your are referring to Rudy?  No-Solder-Filler Neck Kit  I don't think I have enough space to remove the cap, let alone filling.
