Once, our stove would not get above a simmer. I thought the tank was empty, so I took it to be filled. That tank was heavy, and the "gas filler-up guy" confirmed it was 3/4 full. Told him the simmer story---he purged the tank. Basicly he opened that bleed port on the backside of the valve. I do not believe that is the evironmental friendly way to do it, but it worked.
Something or another about an air bubble, yap, yap, yap....don't know but it worked.
I would take the tank to a propane supplier....say "HELP". However, I would think if you are brave you could loosen the bleeder a bit, see if you can get some propane to sneak out. CAUTION---propane cold, like hurt you hand cold.
