I have a BW MI5036LN10, 50 gal natural gas. MFG in mid 80's. Tank is in a utility closet in the garage with the furnece. On cold mornings all I get is Luke warm water. After some amount of usage and recovery time the water comes up to temp. Some years ago had to replace the defective dip tube but other than that I have had no trouble. Any ideas. I kile hot showers.
