[VAC] Bowen water heater



I have been restoring my 71 Safari for the last year and it's almost ready
for the road.  Yesterday I decided to fully test the water heater.  It has
been full and under pressure many times and I have fired the burner to make
sure it worked but never let it burn long enough to fully heat the water.
After burning for about five minutes, the water just starting to get warm, I
saw water trickling out of the main burner tube.  Of coarse, I shut the
heater down right away.  Is this normal condensation or do I have a major
problem?
