Re: We are getting luke warm water and the low gas alarm...
Even though you have a full bottle it might not be the right bottle, you have to have a min 2lb for a water heater to work, take and have the bottle checked to make sure it is the right pressure tank

If the vent has been running for 3 days, is there fire in the hole? I suspect there is a lot more to this story. If there is fire in the hole, turn off gas and call someone before you get killed. Seriously.
check your expansion vessel is not flat.if so recharge..simple way to check press in valve on vessel if water comes out or little air recharge..if water still in vessel the diaphram in vessel has split so replace vessel?hot water relys on expansion??
the dip rod in heater may have failed. did you see any white chips in sediment while draining. if so its the dip rod, they do fail sometimes. If the water heater in your home was built between 1993 and 1996 and you are
beginning to find small pieces of plastic in your faucet aerators, shower
nozzles and washing machine supply tube, or if your water temperature is
suddenly not as warm as it used to be, the source of the problem may be your
water heater's dip tube. The purpose of a dip tube is to carry cold water to the bottom of the tank,
where it is heated for use. The defective dip tubes tend to crumble and disintegrate into the tank. Over
time, its plastic ! have a very good day !
It sounds like your thermostat on the water heater isn't working properly. try turning it up higher and if this doesn't work I would have a service techy look at it.
The cold main water pressure is too low to maintain a constant flow. Make sure you have no other appliences on, or your not comprimised by the lowering of pressure
First thing I would do is clean and rebuild the watervalve. The watervalve on this heater mandates everything. This watervalve has a maintenance schedule in the manual. She be rebuilt every 3 years. Also sounds like the diaphram in the watervalve may be damaged.
