VIDEOClick to see full answer. Thereof, is it dangerous if the pilot light goes out?The worry here is that when a pilot goes out, the gas valve that supplies the fuel for the pilot flame could still be pumping gas. This can mean a buildup of gas, and when the pilot is relit or relights itself it could result in a very serious explosion.Furthermore, can a pilot light flame be adjusted? Adjusting the Pilot Flame If the pilot flame is too small, you may be able to make it larger by turning the pilot adjustment screw on the valve control counterclockwise with a screwdriver to open it. The cause of a weak flame may also be an obstruction in the pilot tube. Similarly one may ask, what do you do when your pilot light goes out? Locate the pilot light assembly, including the gas valve with “On,” “Off,” and “Pilot” settings, and pilot reset button. Rotate the valve to the “Off” position, and wait several minutes. Can you get carbon monoxide poisoning from a pilot light?Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced during burning fuel. It doesn’t leak from a pilot light that’s gone out, but if the light keeps going out even after you relight the pilot, it can indicate that you have other problems.
