Gas water heater fails, then lights
Our DSI gas water heater ignites but then only burns for a couple of seconds. After a second or two delay, it tries again, and this time it always keeps burning. What's going on?

The WH having to bleed the lines after sitting all night is NOT normal.
The propane being turned ON at the tank/cylinder would keep line full of propane.
Bleeding the lines should only be necessary if propane has been valved out for an extended period.
Problem in AM......I gotta go with 'enblethen'
This is not normal if it works lighting the stove first then you have a leak in your system that need attention NOW! Propane is nothing to fool with get it fixed! There is a chance that you may need a new thermocouple that will sometimes cause that issue. First thing is to do a pressure test on you gas system!
