I have a propane boiler for my old adobe remodel. I put in radiant floor to be used with a gas boiler. Im a long way from getting the city to turn on my gas service so i installed a propane boiler for now. I cannot get this thing to keep the pilot lit. I put in a new thermocoupler, new heat switch, proper venting. It runs until the temp gets to 130 then shuts off. I understand that it supposed to turn on and off in a cycle but the pilot goes out. There is no breeze that causes it. A possible issue is the tank is small, 10 gallons and im putting in a 100 gal tank which should(?) bring the pressure up if thats relevant.  
Anyone have ideas?
