    Hi porterguy

    If the FVD (flame vapor device) failed due to fumes from anything that sets the FVD off then the FVD will need to be replaced entirely. In most cases, the FVD can simply be removed from the front or side of the water heater and taken to a local plumbing supply house (only place that will have these) for replacement.

    Let us know how you make out, OK?
