My guess is that your regulator needs resetting as a safety feature in it has been tripped. Try this:

turn off your gas,
disconnect your regulator from the propane tank, and then
re-connect your regulator.

This should do it.

I had the same problem and called webber cust srv. and they told me to just take my time when opening the tank. So now when I open the tank I count to 10 before its fully open. This has helped me with the problem on my Q grill when i use a 20lb tank. Hope it helps. Z
