AD, First question to you is....Are you sure your nurse tank has a liquid (Wet) line. A lot of tanks out there only have vapor lines. Meaning that if you put your unloading valve on the same valve the gas company fill into it may very well be vapor only the opposite way. My parents main LP tank for the house is that way.
I think that is your problem.
For even if you weren't getting the empty tank pressure down enough, If left overnight it would fill on its own by the tank temp/pressure as they cool down after a hot day!
You said the tractor only ran for about 15 minutes or so after you filled it..... So when very empty, you should be able to push in on the center porition of the liquid and vapor valves they should move freely since there is little to no pressure on the tank. So that eliminates the valves sticking, Also you said it ran for a while after you filled it, So the vlaves are working enough to get vapor through!!!
I still think your tank is giveing you vapor only!
Hollar back.
Later,
John A.
