Thanks for your help guys. Problem solved. I found that when I switched the POL fitting or tailpiece, whatever it's called, that goes into the tank, everything was back to normal. But Question 2 ...Is the regulator for safety as well as pressure control, or is there some kind of built in safety shut off? I'd like to have my bases covered when it comes to pressurized fuel and fire. I got my tank from Tractor Supply a couple of weeks ago, so I'm figuring it has all the latest safety features. Once again, thanks.

No offense, but I may not have posted this in the right area ... or correctly, but when I tried to delete the post, it didn't quite work. Anyway about six months ago I purchased a Goss KP-414M-H Propane Torch Kit on Amazon. Everything was fine on my first tank of propane, (it was half full when I started using it). Then I bought a new tank, filled it, connected my hose, turned everything on, and lit the flame. Everything worked fine for about five seconds, then the pressure along with the flame disappeared almost like I'd run out of fuel. Each time I try I get the same result. I've tried this with and without the supplied regulator and always get the same result. I'll add that the hose and torch sat for about two months, with the regulator separated, sitting on a nearby workbench. I have also tried this on another full tank with the same results. Any ideas?
