What to do if Water valve knob won't turn back on?

How do you get a propane tank knob unstuck?
A common mistake is assuming that the tank valve (to which the knob is attached) is closed. It may be already open to the maximum, which means that trying to turn the knob counterclockwise to "open" the valve to let the gas flow to the appliance is not possible. Forcing the knob in any way will usually result in breaking the metal at the base of the knob, rendering the knob useless. Before trying to turn the knob counterclockwise, try turning it clockwise to make sure the valve has not been fully opened. Use a cloth wrapped around the knob and slip joint pliers to gently push the knob. Don't use excessive force or you may damage the knob. If you are sure that the valve is closed, but can't be turned counterclockwise, use a penetrating oil, applying liberally at the point where the valve/knob shaft goes into the valve. Keep the tank upright and wait 15 to 20 minutes before attempting to turn the knob again. If all this fails, you may be forced to have a propane expert replace the valve and knob, or buy a new complete tank.

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.
The problem is when there is no water flowing into the toilet even when the water valve is on?
If the shut off valve handle makes a full turn or more, it has a washer in it. The washer can come off the stem and be blocking the line. If the fill valve in the tank is in corner of the tank with a float that rides up and down a shaft, there is a washer in the top of it that can become stiff or blocked with minerals and stop the flow.
Where is the knob to turn off your water from the street?
If you have a basement, it will be on the basement wall closest to the street. If you are on a slab, it is most likely next to the water heater. There will be a water meter between the house and the street, there should be a valve there, but it may need a shaped key to turn it and they can be tight.
