I have a "Backyard Grill™ Stainless Steel 4-Burner Gas Grill - BY14-101-001-02"and all last summer it grilled fine with no issues. So before May we decided to get the tank topped off and have a cookout.. Grill started up with nice high flames, but about 30-60 seconds later regulator safety toggles and gas flow is cut, causing my flame to die out slowly... serious bummer.

The grill does light when I only use one burners, but if any more are turned on the stay lit for a couple of seconds then it dies out...

Please help!!

Things I have tried/been instructed to do:

Reset Regulator -
I have reset regulator multiple times. used different methods.

Replace regulator -
I have tried three different regulators, different brands from hardware store...

Check for leaks -
soapy water sprayed on propane tanks fittings, regulator,lines, manifold. no bubbles.

Clean burners - holes and debris cleaned out.

full/semi/slowly opened propane tank before starting
 
sounds like your tank is the issue, disconnect your tank with the valve shut off.
Shake your tank upside down back and forth a few times.
Then reconnect and see if it works.
A lot of times the float will get stuck, and a vapor lock will occur
If not try another tank
