I have a weber. Fairly new and spotless burners. Cranked it up for the first time this year last night with a full propane tank and the flames are low, very low. Is this the valves or the propane tank. It worked fine in the fall and the tank went empty. I exchanged it yesterday and now very low flow. Are these tanks sometimes defective or is it usually something wrong with the grill. Everyting looks fine as for no clogging. The only two things I can think of would be the burner valves or the propane tank itself. I didnt know if these tanks were often defective before I go back to home depot and get a refund.

It was the tank. I took it back to home depot and exchanged it for one that was almost new. Works beautifully.

Most likely it is the tank they have a built in flapper inside the tank sometimes it sticks and wont release the gas

check the line running from the grill to the tank for blockage, also check the lines (rubber or metal) running from the controls to the burners.
i had a similar problem last year and found it to be that a spider made a nest in the line between the tank and the controls. i had removed the tank for a couple of weeks, and then went to use it and had a very low flame as well

It sounds to me like you are getting poor airflow to the burners, make sure the vents are clean and in good repair.
The other thought I have is: have you opened the valve on the propane tank far enough.

It is most likely the OPD device. Shut off the gas tank, shut off all burner controls - then turn on the gas tank and turn on front burner and light. This should take care of the problem.
good luck!
