President Lincoln delivered the 272 word Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863 on the battlefield near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate!!!8212;we cannot hallow!!!8212;this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us!!!8212;that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion!!!8212;that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain!!!8212;that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

If the pressure keeps dropping it has a fault, either a leak somewhere or a fault with the expansion vessel. If its the expansion vessel it will be very low when the boiler is off and get to 2 -2.5 when on and maybe trip the pressure release valve.

The filling loop is exactly what you describe, you have to turn on both knobs to fill the system.

Unless its a condensing boiler I can't think of any strange gasses you could smell. A gas safety certificate includes checking the fumes, flue and safety of the whole system and MUST be done annually and copied to tenant.

Low boiler pressure will not have anything to do with smells or affect your breathing. You could get boiler fumes coming in through an open window, door or vent.

Radiator water often does have a pungent metallic smell if it is dirty. If a radiator is leaking on carpet it could cause smells.

The 2 black knobs with the flexi pipe is how you increase the pressure in the system, open the one at the boiler fully and gently ease the other one whilst watching the gauge. Bleeding the radiators will reduce the pressure in the system.

You definitely need to call someone for help

When the CH is working properly, you'll get the scent of freshly mown grass, blackcurrant and raspberry fruit punch with overtones of vanilla and heather honey
