Re: New hotwater heater flaming out Reply #21 – April 09, 2020, 03:15:46 pm I lowered the propane output from the regulator to 6.3 oz/sq inch and observed the following:The water heater ignited correctly when cold, but the blow back flame out was happening intermittently so wont know if the cold startup flameout will happen again for several months. Joan and I returned from California a month earlier then planned due to COVID-19 so are in quarantine for another week, planned group campouts have been cancelled until June, and all BC Provincial Campgounds are closed until July. The stove top burner flames are slightly smaller with less yellow (did not increase air with 7.3 oz/sq inch).The refrigerator, which also occasionally had blowout on ignition, ignited correctly but with a slightly smaller flame.The recommendation to increase the regulator output by one oz/sq inch came from RVcoolingUnit.com. It seems that it was not good advice. Quote Selected
