If you are talking about a hot water tank then the answer is no. If it is leaking from a fitting, it just needs to be tightened. If you can not tell where the leak is coming from, the water leak is the first sign that the tank is going to need replacing in the not to distance future.

What does it mean when your water heater suddenly keeps heating your water hotter and hotter?
If your water heater is continuously heating water hotter and hotter, it may indicate a malfunction with the thermostat or heating element. This can be dangerous as it can lead to scalding temperatures and potential damage to the tank. It's important to have a professional inspect and repair the water heater to prevent any further issues.
What if there is no drip leg installed on a water heater gas line?
Not much of anything. Drip legs were quite common in the past, and many cities and engineers still specifiy their use. They are intended to capture any condensed water that may have been transported in the gas. If you don't have a drip leg, I'd not worry about it. I was flagged for this in the Borough of Magnolia in NJ and had to install one to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy. You can call the township you live in to see if it is required.
What heating element would you switch on to heat the whole tank?
You would switch on an immersion heater to heat the entire tank. It is designed to heat water in tank systems by immersing in the water and heating it directly.
Is a firewall required around an electric water heater?
No, but what is recommended around a hot water tank is insulation. The warmer that you can keep the tank the more money you will save on water heating costs. For a very reasonable cost you can purchase these HWT blankets to cover the tank with. Over a year the money saved on heating water will payback the cost of the blanket.
How many gallons of heating oil does it take to heat one gallon of water?
That's going to depend on . . . -- the starting temperature of the water -- the target temperature of the water -- how fast you want it to get there -- the efficiency of the heater you use

Is it called a hot water heater or water heater?
It's because "hot-water" is a compound adjective, modifying "heater". It's not for heating water, it's for heating a house with hot water. There are many types of heaters that heat water, but only a hot-water heater is used for providing heated water for domestic use. A hydronic boiler also heats water, but it's only for use in radiators.The name "Hot Water Heater" is completely wrong for any use. There is no need to heat hot water. IT has always been "water heater". The term hot water heater has just been used for years because people don't realize the difference. It has always been WATER HEATER.The first answer is jibberish and makes no practical sense at all.
