Propane Problem

We had our large 39 gallon propane tank filled a week ago on our class a, since then our propane has worked sporaticly. The BBQ starts works for about 8 minutes then shuts off. We can't light the cooktop or get any gas to the BBQ, so far if I bleed the main tank a couple of times for about 10 sec's each time. After a little work getting the cooktop to work it seems to work fine, have run the BBQ for an hour after getting it going again.

The next time we go to use it we have to do the process all over again.

This has been going on for a week and it isn't getting better. Was wondering if any of you had any ideas or suggestions as to what the problem is.

Thanks

    Did some kind of foreign material get on/in the hose end or inside the tank fitting?


    That would be the only thing that could be different, as it worked properly before the tank was filled.

    Sounds like you have a restriction of some sort in the line.

    Is the rubber hose kinked/pinched?

    Is the valve open all of the way?

    Did some kind of foreign material get on/in the hose end or inside the tank fitting?
