might invest in a electric heater.

Sounds like a pressure regulator problem.

Could be a falty circuit board at the heater as well. Mine would kick on and blow cold air and some time blow hot air. We had it checked and there was a bad device on the circuit board.

SOUNDS like the high pressure spring in the regulator is sticking. I would replace it and see if that works.

Did you get the furnace to work? If not, what make furnace and did you run completely out of propane before you filled? Have to tried turning off the propane valve and opening it again very slowly to avoid the "stop flow" preventer which is there to protect you in the even of a gas line rupture.
