Do gas water heaters need to be insulated?
NO! This is a FIRE HAZARD. Manufacturers of all water heaters always install insulation around the tank then cover it with the sheet metal jacket. I have seen many times where a person has insulated a gas water heater and the flames from the burner chamber escaped from the cover and ignited the plastic on the insulation blanket.
