What causes water to come out of the top of a water heater?
Depends where it is coming from. If it is on the cold side and from the vacuum relief valve, no big deal. If it is coming from the inlet or outlet ports where the fittings are screwed in, then they were not sufficiently threaded in properly.
No pressure in the hot water in all house?
Check your water heater to ensure that the valve in the supply line is open. You can test that the water heater is working by using the relief valve at the top, just beware of the potential for scalding hot water to come out if the heater is operating correctly. If you have a full tank, and all the valves are open around the water heater, it may be time to call a plumber.
Why does no water come through to the toilet and it will not flush?
In the tank, if you have the type of fill valve that the float rides up and down on a tube or square shaft, there is a quarter size washer in it that hardens and will not let the water in. It is either in the top or bottom depending on the exact type of valve. Shut the water off at the wall and this type comes apart by twisting it one quarter turn counter clockwise. The washer should be at the point the float separates from the base.If you have the type that has the float ball on the rod, the valve can corrode and will need to be replaced.Sometimes, the washer in the shut off valve will come off and plug the valve. Doesn't happen that often, but something to consider.

How do you stop the water from the hot water tank coming to the tap?
There is a shutoff valve on the cold pipe going into the H/W tank, if you close it no water will come out of the tank. There should also be a shutoff valve on the wall below each faucet/tap.

Can propane lines freeze to an inside stove?
Yes it will work. But if you turn the valve open to fast there is a safety mechanism inside the valve and the propane will not come out. You will need to open the valve slowly for the tank to work.
