Hi All,
The expansion tank bladder has broke. I can't get the darn thing out because I can't get at it with enough wrenches and arm strength to unscrew it from the piping back in the dark behind the corner drawers(factory install!). Can I leave it there and add another one somewhere convenient?
Thanks, Craig S.

You can leave it there if you cap off the line that went into it. If you don't, it will leak thru the shell in short order; they are thin.

Like James said... unless of course the tank is stainless, but then I think you'd still want to disconnect the tank... the water behind the bladder will essentially be stagnant.
