The OP indicates that “EVERY NIGHT the propane system shuts off”.
That tells me that the Propane System is “OK” during the day, then in the evening when the Furnace starts running the Propane “shuts off”.
That sounds to me that the EXCESS FLOW valves in the pig tales are shutting off. Have a licensed Propane Service Man check them out.
For those that don’t know the “code” requires that Excess Flow valves be in every Propane system so that in case of an accident and the pig tales are broken they will shut off the flow of Propane.
