I have a 40 gal, gas hot water heater that is now about 11 years old.
I know the avg lifespan is supposed to be about 10 years.
My question is, if it works fine, appears to be fine from the outside, am I taking a chance on it bursting/leaking unexpectedly or should i be fine for a number of years yet?
Should i drain off some sediment from time to time or could I possibly be causing a problem?
