The regulator may have gone bad. If it's very old I would replace it.
As the previous post stated, sometimes if you open the valve on the bottle too quickly it will automatically close off the valve, scensing there is a leak from the propane quickly passing through the empty lines. The solution is to close the valve and give a few seconds, then re-open it very slowly.
You might get the second bottle filled and see if it works to rule out any issue with the current bottle. If that does'nt work It's probably the regulator.
Another thought, make sure the pointer on the regulator is pointing at the bottle you are trying to use.
