One other thing John, if it is gas, make sure it is vented properly. I see a few of these on vacation properties in my area, and most are not properly vented. Then you get he reply of, well it's only in the garage.

Yeah I caught one in a builders show home not to long ago. They converted the garage into an office. I told the Realtor that she may want to get it fix ASAP if she is going to be sitting in there all day long. LOL

John, you could write a couple of pages of deficiencies on this, such as
Adequate makeup / fresh air, unless the door is louvered
In over thirty years in this business, I have never seen galvanized pipe used for gas, someone can correct me if I am wrong on this
Vent has negative fall, unless the water heater is venting the chimney
No drip leg
Evidence of leak
Elevated 18", does not matter if it is in a closet
No TPR
