What is the risk of an explosion if pilot light on water heater goes out?
When pilot light goes out, gas flows out of the pilot light nozzle. If out has continued for a long time, a gas cloud can develop around the furnace. When you go to light the pilot light, you'll ignite this gas cloud and make a big fire ball. If your basement is drafty, you might never get a huge cloud of gas hovering around your furnace. When you notice that your pilot light is out, you should shut off the gas to the furnace and allow any stray gas to dissipate before you turn the gas back on and light the pilot light. alliedallcityinc.com

typically there is a pilot light underneath the base of the water heater. There should also be a latch or opening so you can light it. Look inside with a flash light so you get a better view before trying to light it. I recommend using long matches or a barbecue liter.
Why water heater does not light?
Check if your pilot light is on. If it is, then there is a fault in the gas regulator and you will need to call a gas technician.-If the pilot is off, The detailed directions are printed on front of EVERY gas regulator. - However, in general terms, turn regulator switch to OFF for 2 minutes, then to PILOT and depress for one minute, then light pilot or press clicker till it lights. Keep PILOT pressed for 2 more minutes then slowly release it. If it stays on then turn main switch to RUN or ON. Use a barbecue match (12 inch long) to light manual pilots. -If the pilot will NOT stay on, then you have a faulty thermocouple. - Not a complicated job. Call a competent handyman or gas tech.

How do you light a polite on hot water heater?
FIRST; read all, you should read the manual first,if you dont have one,you can find it online, just google the MFG of the water tank. If it is a state, just put state water heater in google. Then you can search for your manual, and so on for any MFG. on the top of the gas valve is a black knob, it should say- off,on,pilot. the knob could have an arrow or a dot, point the arrow or dot to pilot and press down on the knob,(you must have a match,long one or grill lighter ready to light pilot when you press down on the knob,as this will release gas for lighting ) hold the knob down for a minute after the pilot is light, this tells the thermocouple that there is flame present and to stay light. Most times there is a copper line running from the gas valve to the inside of the tank, at the end of this line is the pilot light,this is what you try to light. If you release the knob and the light goes out try it again and hold the knob down longer. After you release the knob and the pilot light stays lite, you now turn the knob to ON.

How do you lite a gas water heater pilot?
turn the gas dial (knob) to off. remove the access cover off the water heater on the bottom of the water heater. if the water heater is more than a few years old it will have to be lit with a match or equalivant. wait 5 minutes before lighting after the gas is shut off. turn the gas control knob to the pilot position and push the knob down. and hold it in that position. This will feed gas to the pilot burner. Inside you will see a short (1"-1-1/2") long x 1/8" silver colored shaft, just above this is usually that is where the gas comes out and where you should place the burning match immediately upon pushing the pilot knob down. This should light the water heater pilot flame. Continue holding the pilot knob down for approx. 1 minute after it is lit. That will heat up the thermocouple which will allow the gas to contnue to be supplied to the pilot burner. After approx. 1 minute you should be able to let off the control knob and the pilot flame should stay lit. If it does, replace the access cover and turn the control knob to "on". If it will not stay lite after burning for approx. 1 minute then the thermocouple may be bad and need to be replaced. If you have a newer version it will have a pizo ignition (much like a gas bar-b-que grille) follow the above instructions but rather than inserting a match or similar device to light the pilot lite there is a little push button that you would push in the area of the "on" control knob, push and hold the pilot knob down and repeatly push the igniation button until lit. Do not hold the pilot gas valve in the open position without repeatedly striking the ignighter until the flame lights, otherwise there may be a flashback in the burner.
