Our boiler feed and expansion tank has started to gurgle and drip at odd intervals. We just had a loft conversion done and the F&E tank is now easily accessible. It is in a small "plant room" (together with the Megaflow hot water storage tank) with a door, at the end of our loft conversion.
If the door is left open I can hear what's going on and it seems that when the boiler fires up in the morning that the water level drops very slightly and the ball cock allows a little water into the tank. Then it seems that when the boiler shuts down that there is a gurgle and a small quantity of water comes out of the expansion pipe and into the tank. The tank is not overflowing.
Did it always do this, just that I never heard it before, or is something amiss?
Thanks
Peter
