i think the basic problem is how hot the fire is and what coal they are using, they have started using some new coal and have the vent set at its lowest setting as it burns to fast otherwise, the other coal used to burn at a number 5 setting, if the setting is set to high the water will actually boil over ,i know this because the tank is above my bedroom and came through the ceiling, the boiler is bricked up behind the fire so i cant find out the output.

Holy crap!

Does that not worry you?

Do you know the make and model?

its now fixed , the tank was at an angle ,so the overflow was above the lip of the tank, so it just poured out over the lip, (house that jack built)

you do realise this is a solid fuel system

Yes I do, but Bamber doesn't, because he generally doesn't read technical details before launching into his pointless and misguided personal attacks. His experience is very limited, as he doesn't do general plumbing, and doesn't understand heating, or electrics, or solid fuel, and thinks that the world revolves around gas.
