I have ventless gas logs. My propane company filled up my tank last week. Starting the night my tank was filled up, my logs will cut off after about 15-20 minutes. The pilot will go out as well. I am able to restart the logs, but again, they won't stay lit for longer than 20 minutes at a time and it only started when my tank was filled up. (Tank was NOT completely empty -- I still had around 25% left in tank)
Can someone please help me??????

Hello lgtalley and Welcome to our Do It Yourself Web Site and my Gas Appliances forum.
I am not totally familar with the aspects of the propane tank, it's delivery system, pressure regulator control or safety devices. If other appliances in the house do not display any symptoms, chances are the propane system and the recent fillup is not the cause of the fireplace problem.
If the problem exists only with the fireplace, chances are the pilot generator, if equipped with this type of system, is the problem. The pilot generator is the round element part the pilot flame is heating. The generator in installed in the pilot assembly.
Remove the existing pilot generator and replace it with an identical replacement part. The part can be obtained at any local hardware store and or appliance parts store.
Retail parts dealers can also help determine what the possible problem may be. Bring the make, model and serial numbers to the store. The info will help to determine the correct replacement part and possible problem causes.
Read the prior topics, within this forum, on this subject of fireplaces and the replies offered. I'm sure you'll locate the exact symptom and the correctional possibility.
