Since you said that you tapped on the regulator  and then worked I
would say regulator.

My first thought was since it is a bit cold and the tanks are very
small as tanks go. Therefore as you use LPG and there is less in the
tank and the gas it turning into a liquid because of the outside temp
and won't leave the tank in that state. It will probably get worse if
that was the problem and you might not have any heat this morning.

I worked up North in Northern Alberta in winter where temps would be
-10 F and we were staying in a Holiday Trailer. In the morning our
tanks would not produce any gas in the morning but in the afternoon
after things warm up to +5 F they would produce gas. I think they were
40 pound tanks. One winter we brought a 100 pound tank and that work
better but transporting the tank wasn't easy.

That is #1 on our wish list is a heater.
