    Are you saying you replaced the gas valve? Or do you have a commercial unit with an aquastat?
    Can you tell us the make and model of the water heater?

    More info. Needed, for sure!

    How old is the water heater? Is it a closed combustion chamber (bolted door over the combustion chamber)?

    How about LP supply? Does the LP gas only supply your water heater, or does it also supply the boiler/furnace or other appliances in the house?

    Let us know more...
