    Did someone pour inhibitor into the tank?

    Yes. It possibly could have just remained stagnant there. I presume this is a jelly-like substance?

    Always best to put inhibitor in through a radiator so it circulates in the system. Putting it in the expansion tank needs enough drain off to make sure it gets into the heating system.
