Normally they would run out of gas first, if it stops and the pressure has dropped right off and the gas burner is still going. Just turn the gas off and when it's cool enough to refil, refill with gas and water and steam it up again.
Boilers are silver soldered so even if the water runs out first, you wont have any problems, so long as you don't continue to fire it dry! |
