What is causing my pilot light to go out?

The pilot light on my heater is lighting, but not staying lit. What can I do to fix this ?

Your boiler needs a new thermocouple - this device keeps the pilot light lit. Its a thin metal thing that projects into the gas flame. They don't last forever - usually a couple of years.
