corrosion issues try (very carefully) setting fire to the air next time if it burns its hydrogen a by product of corrosion failing that its a bad system design in either case you need to get a pro in to resolve your issues

Could be your pump is wronge way round.

If the system was poorly designed the pump could be sucking air into the system,as gas man says, you need a professional opinion.

Have you got a myson aerjec

I carefully tried to set a fire as Gas man said but there was no fire, which confirms it is not a corrosion issue but a bad system design. When thoroughly checking the system, the pump is not fitted wrong way round either, and threre is no myson aerjec installed anywhere. In my view, a pump which is installed closely to vent pipe which might be sucking air from it. Can it be the cause??

yep, pump position is probably the culprit here. pump should be situated in the neutral zone. if you don't understand this get a pro in.
