My gas fire will only stay lite for 8 minutes and goes out - It will re ignite and burn for 8 minutes again and go out - Why?

There could be a number of reasons for this, flueing is the first one that comes to mind, you need to have a heating engineer have a look at it.

Hello Allen, I strongly suggest you get a service. If you put your job on this site you will be contacted and a survey can be done alone with a costing. Free of charge to you. Regards Michael

Sounds like the oxygen depletion device is turning it off don't use the fire and get a gas safe registered gas engineer to look at it it may just need a good service. All gas appliances need servicing every year hope this helps cheers Ray
