She never used the propane to heat water after that time. Later in the season she assumed that the propane tank was empty and that's why the furnace wasn't working.

I have 11"wc propane pressure at the supply line to each appliance. Now I'm wondering if the tank was properly purged when it was initially filled.
Any other thoughts about why the gas flow doesn't keep up with demand? Do I just tear it all apart and blow air through the lines to clear any debris?
