HI,
Like stated above, if the tank is not tight, or the propane valve is slightly open, the overflow protection device might trip.

Are you running a propane generator? Those can also trip the OFPD. Any time there is more than about 100,000 Btu's per hour leaving the tank, the device will close. And it will not open at all if the regulator is not attached tightly.
I would try the first tank again, and it will probably work fine.
