So why do water heaters leak at all. I have a 100 year old furnace in my house (Hot water, originally coal fired converted to natural gas). It doesn't leak so why should a 8 year old water heater?
Because it was made 100 years ago. Those furnaces were built like tanks. Gas and electric water heaters leak all the time, ask anyone (including me) who has come home to a flooded basement.
