Pilot Knob Volcano is located in Austin, Texas near McKinney Falls State Park. Pilot Knob consists of four small hills in a two-mile area that we call Pilot Knob. When Pilot Knob formed in Austin it was completely underwater so when it erupted the magma came in contact with the seawater. It is one of the few volcanoes that are on private property. Luckily for the owners Pilot Knob is currently extinct, but around 83 million years ago it erupted. This volcano is made up of sedimentary rocks that created shell fragments around the volcano after the eruption. These fragments have created about seven smaller hills in the ash, and some lithified beach sediments. Now Pilot Knob is an attraction for people to look at when driving around the Austin area.

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 relight the pilot-light of the home heating furnace?
Turn the knob on the top of the gas valve to "Pilot" and hold it down. Put your match or lighter near the pilot and it should light. Continue holding the knob down for about 30 seconds then release, and the pilot should stay lit. If it goes out then you may need to replace the thermocouple (the gold color rod that the pilot flame burns on) or have the pilot cleaned if it has a yellow flame.

How To Turn on and Ignite a Gas Wall Heater?
Sometimes figuring out how to turn on and ignite a gas wall heater can gradually turn into a very difficult and arduous process. In fact, learning how to turn on a wall heater does not require superior intelligence and it can be done quickly and safely without any of the hassle. Lighting the Pilot The pilot is simply a small flame inside of the heater that is constantly burning whether the heater is on or off. It’s there to ignite the gas when needed. Instead of immediately jumping into lighting the pilot, it’s a good idea to make sure the pilot is not already lit. If it’s not, then you are ready to light it. Search for a knob that reads “Pilot” and make sure it is turned to that setting. After turning it to the “Pilot” position, hold down the knob until you smell gas emitting. Release the knob and the pilot should stay lit. If the knob is not able to be pressed down, search for a red knob or something similar that can be pressed in. After holding the knob down for at least a minute, let go and the pilot should stay lit. If the pilot doesn’t stay lit, repeat the process of lighting the pilot again. If the pilot still refuses to light, there might be a problem with the heater. Powering On the Gas Now that your pilot is lit, you’ll want to turn the gas on so that your wall heater can begin actually producing heat. Locate the same knob that you turned to the “Pilot” position, and turn it to the “On” or “Operate” position. Doing this can be a little troublesome because it may take a few tries. Also remember that the flames might be a little intense if the knob is turned over to the “On” position too quickly. Setting the Desired Temperature Now that your gas has been turned on, you’re ready to set the temperature. Search for a knob with temperatures or numbers, and twist to the desired level.
