When commected to 20 lbs tank the pilot light does not stay on; however, when connected to a 1 lb propane bottle everything works propertly. I have replaced the fuel filter, I have tried using different propane tanks and different propane hoses...nothing cures the problem. I have used a cutip and rubbing alcohol and compressed air to clean out the gas tube, that did not work either. What can I do fix the problem?

The new 20lb LPG cylinders now have what called an OPD Valve. Reconnect to a 20lb cylinder and turn the tank valve on very very slowly, This will help prevent the OPD Valve from locking up the heater's regulator. Your 1lb cylinder is not required to have this OPD Valve.
By the way, this happens quite frequently with LP Gas Portable Grills.
