Its an old 60 PSI regulator. Its frozen wide arse open and has never been adjusted. Regulator on grill, no idea.

Two tanks, two regulators, same results.

I am not sure if the bleeder valve/screw has anything to do with the tank flow.

When my tanks on my grill don't flow 100%. I unhook everything, wait a few minutes, and then reconnect the hose. Then open the tank very slowly and it will work as it should. Sometimes it takes a few tries. I think it has to do with the OPD (overfill protection device) in the tank. The bleeder screw on the side should be tight but you don't have to crank down on it.

Sounds like a bad regulator.

If the regulator is wide open and the grill adjustment knob is open when you open the tank, that it likely your problem. From what I have been told, the safety mechanism in the tank will trip if it is opened into an "open system". I guess the idea is that they don't want you to be able to just ignite it right out of the tank valve at full blast. You have to have the regulator or grill adjustment valve closed when you open the tank valve.
