1995 Lance Squire Water Heater Question :::
Getting ready to go full time in Aug and my water heater pilot tube stays burning along side the main burner tube. The pilot is burning yellow and the burner LP blue... Is this a problem?

Hi guys, thanks for both great responses! I need to remove the pilot tube and blow out whatever is living in there and did plan to leave the WH off until needed so completely agree with you Gregg...
I had forgotten about another pesky problem... I guess it's the Air Relief Valve keeps leaking a lot. Seems like the plunger assembly in there is real old and sticky and I moved it and probably should have left it alone. I have the old manual and it says to relieve it before lighting each season. It leaks so much that if you leave the pump on, it is detecting a pressure differential and gives short bursts of activity so it thinks it is supposed to be pumping something somewhere??!!! I guess I need to replace it or..?
