Are you running the fridge on propane or electric like the water heater?
W/O a demand on propane system the regulator is basically closed until a demand for propane is called for an a flow established. Remember system pressure is only 0.4 psi
IF water heater gas valve was leaking thru (you would smell propane at WH) or of a fitting was leaking then there would be a demand on regulator and line would have flow until you ran out of propane.
Smelling a whiff of propane when furnace first lights off is not unusual-----gas valve opens for 6-8 seconds at same time spark electrode gets energized. BUT if you can smell that whiff then main flame should light off
Sounds like spark electrode is slightly out of position (S/B centered over burner slots) or gap too wide (S/B 1/8")
