Propane stove issues

Last week, while camping in Yosemite, my propane stove worked fine the first day and the next morning.

temps were cool, 33F, but no freezing of outside water. The  3 rd. Morning, temps the same, the stove burners were feeble and would not stay lit when I put a pot over them.

I had not turned the control knob on the tank off, but had left it on. I had 3 gal. of propane in the 5 gal. Tank.

when I got home to warmer  temp., and lower elevation the burners worked fine. Checked the tank and it was 60% full.

any ideas as to what is going on?

it wasn’t cold enough to affect the propane delivery- maybe the regulator is faulty?

any ideas?

thanks,
