Jim's advice is good. All newer propane tanks have an excess flow check valve. It;s purpose is to shut-off the flow of gas if a line break etc causes a free flow. If you had the tanks closed and opened one quickly to an empty or near empty system the gas flows fast enough to move the check valve to the closed position. Propane tanks have to be opened slowly until the system is pressurized.
As usual, great advice on this forum. Disconnecting and turning on SLOWLY did the trick. Thanks for all the replies and information. Happy New Year to all!
