Relief Valve dripping and rellieving.

@ March 10, 2010 12:28 PM in Relief Valve dripping and rellieving.

I have a oil fired, forced hot water system with a storage tank as one zone for domestic hot water.  The relief vale would let water out most in morning with a slow drip otherwise.  First off the fastfill combo and the relief were replaced...to no avail.  Next I replaced the expansion tank.  This corrected the problem for about two weeks.  It started doing the same thing.  I replaced the relief valve at this point, hoping maybe it had gotten gummed up in the process.  This fixed the problem for about 3 days.  Now it has returned.  I am wondering if it is a problem related to the storage tank or boiler.  Any suggestions to try on either end would be appreciated.
