query on boiler

happylad

Hello,

My friend has recently bought a.new solid fuel boiler for his house. He is currently storing the old boiler with the intention of putting it into his parents house at some stage.

What I am wondering is now that he has drained water out of the back boiler part of the stove will it corrode inside. I have suggested to him that he should even fill it with a mix of corrosion inhibitor and water and leave it in it until he will be using it again.

What do u think and if he should you inhibitor what would you recommend and mixing ratio.

Thanks for your help.

As long as its in a dry place and properly drained, it will dry out and be fine
