Does Anyone Know What The Problem Could Be? The Pilot Light On Our Gas Water Heater Won't Stay Lit.
We can light the pilot light just fine, but it barely stays lit long enough to heat up the tank. It's fine for about 20 minutes or so, but then it just goes out. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Pilot flame must be bright blue for propane and strong. Any candling will not generate enough heat for the thermocouple to convert to dc voltage. Make sure the pilot assembly is clean. Make sure the top 3/8 of he thermocouple are in the flame. The thermocouple may be weak. Try that. If that doesn't help, call your gas supplier.
