If you've been following along, I've been restoring my 76 Palm Beach for six months, just moved in and discovered a number of issues. Surprise! The latest issue is the hot water heater. I made sure that the hot water heater was full, then turned it on. After several hours I turned on a hot water tap and the water came out almost boiling and smelling strangely somewhat like Elmer's glue but very strong. No spurting or air escaping, just blazing hot water. I immediately turned off the hot water heater but now even the cold water from the hot water tap stinks. Anyone ever experience anything like this? Do I need a new unit? If so, is there an upgrade?
