Why is my furnace burner not coming on?

Why is my Propane water heater not making enough hot water?
A higher temperature increases your risk of burns, so turn it up gradually. You should check the adequacy of your tank size. A larger tank means more hot water. If your tank is too small for the household, it might not be able to make enough hot water. As you use hot water in your home, the tank refills with cold water.
What happens if there is no gas in the propane heater?

What should I do if my propane heater is going strong?
After checking the tank and connections, proceed to checking the pilot light. Open the water boiler compartment door to see if the pilot light is blueish-green and going strong within the burner.

What should I do if my propane tank is not flowing?
Wait a few minutes, and the pressure regulator will reset itself. Then turn the propane tank valve on extremely slowly to allow the lines to become appropriately pressurized.
