We had a GE 60gallon (gas) hot water tank installed in our house two years ago. It runs very well. A week ago, our family came to China for a two-monh vacaion and will stay until the 5th of March. We shut off he water supply before leaving the house, but forgot to shut off the gas. Now I am worried because no more water will be supplied into the hot water tank,and remaining water will be heated until dry. Is this an dangerous situation? I am wondering if the hot water tank or the furnace has any protection feature to shut off itself. Otherwise I 'll have to cancel my vacation and go back to take care of that. Can anybody help to explain? Thanks a lot.
