Hi,

My expansion tank is only 2 feet above the upstairs radiators and the radiators upstairs do not get very warm.

My system is a normal vented system, with a pump.

Would it help if a lifted the expansion tank another 6 feet? as I am confused if this would help as a pumped system.

Thanks

No, it wouldn't.

Unless you had hot water being passed through it at present.
 
a low head can increase sludge build up due to pumping over and a\ir being introduced to the system... i would fit an airjeq or higher the tank.

also balance the system and check the pump settings.
