Vulcan 300 Freeloader Gas Water Heater
This water heater turns off every time we have a windy weather. I turn it on many times, it works for a little while but then turns off after sometime. At times it also turns of on a fine day. Please help me, it is driving me crazy and i can't bear cold showers in the mornings

I assume it has a pilot. Try blowing out the pilot area with compressed air or CO2. Then relight the pilot.
Dust can cover the pilot combustion air inlet and cause it to pull away from the safety generator or thermocouple. Its called an oxygen depletion arrangement on some space heaters. I assume your Domestic Water Heater has this setup as well. Even if not the thermocouple is not getting all then heat from the flame. If this doesn't work get back to me here. We'll try 1 more thing.
If this helps you please grade me accordingly. GOOD LUCK
