We have a 60 gallon gas water heater that serves our upstairs bathroom. Hot water was working great this morning. Several hours (~10) later this evening, we ran the hot water but only luke warm water came out and nothing hot. I examined the tank in the attic and the it appeared to be working with no signs of leaking. I did notice thoiigh that the cold water input line was actually quite warm, and almost as hot as the hot water output line.
An hour later, I opened the hot water faucet again and suddlenly hot water was flowing normally. Strange, considering I didn't make any adjustments to the tank.
Should I be concenred about:
1. Why was the hot water not flowing when I tried in early eveing?
2. The cold water line coming into the tank was warm (almost as hot as the hoit water output line)
Any tips on how to troubleshoot would be appreicated.
