Attic Central Heating Expansion Tank Overflowing

[Frog67]

Isolate the large tank from the mains and drain it by running hot and cold taps in the bath. Run boiler if little tank stops overflowing then suspect split coil. If it continues overflowing then suspect fault in heating circuit. Bleed a radiator and if the water is brown/black then you probably have a corroded system causing restricted flow around the system and making the water travel up the coldfeed and possibly vent pipe.
