Does anything else work with propane? Stove, fridge, furnace?

The thermostat might need a reset
You press (hard) the black cover on the outside face of the tank.

Hi: quidoi... Are you sure at this point its got water in it? Is there water flow from the hot tank or just air? There's 2 valves to the bypass & it takes about 15 min. to heat it up. Alf
