Setting the tank in straight helps too. If you put the tank in at an angle , it starts drawing vapor instead of liquid. When it's vapor , you need a higher flow rate to get the same amount of fuel , so it can trip the flow cutoff.
Good tip. People are confusing propane tanks with high pressure gas cylinders like the ones used for welding gases. They have double seals in the bottle top valves and are meant to be all the way open or all the way closed to engage one of the seals.
THANKS! I've never heard of that, but it makes sense. LOL in my case it didn't help the issue. But, the way you described it is exactly the problem I am having.
Thank you, sir, saved me a bunch of time!

Would running it with the gas all the way open cause the propane line going into the regulator to freeze
No
I have a propane forklift that shuts off after getting up to temperature
Call a tech. I just used to fix tanks.
