Some one lied to you as NO ONE would dare use one over again.
Considering a decent quality T&P cost under $7.00 and it is the only safety on a residencial heaters (other then possibly a flame safe guard) The right thing to do is shut the tank (fuel supply and water wait for it to cool down replace the T&P open the water supply test for leaks then relight the pilot
