I have a 40gal heater that is 7yrs old.The problem is I will have hot water for 10-15 min and the the water goes luke warm.I think maybe the gas control valve is going bad.If this is bad would I be better off replacing the unit orbuying a new valve.If I need to replace,what steps do I need to take in draining the old unitnd anything else I should be aware of to remove old unit.

Look into the possibility that the dip tube(tube that brings the cold water to bottom of the tank, hasn’t disintgrated) It is usually accompanied by restricted flow. There is a class action lawsuit(ending this month by the way)that addresses this issue.When you use the hot water, it is hot until cold water starts filling in , now at the top, mixing with the water leaving for the house. If your WH was manufactured between 1993 and 97.They have a website just for it.
