there is a new hot water tank installed just 4 months ago,they installed gas one,it is for mobile homes.problem is the pilot lite went out in the middle of the nite,we didn't notice it out until the next day, tried liting it , it wouldn't lite,so we called the park here,4 days later they call to come see whats wrong ... the day before my nephew stopped by,he's a plumber,he fooled with it ,got it to lite,he said the button will go down then click alittle more down,holding the button and click the igniter button.. with that it works... question is , why did the pilot go out ? i suspect wind blew down the new chimney pipe that was installed with the new tank,is it to short? is the top cover the right one ? or is this jus a freak thing ?
