Most of those setups feed liquid propane to a vaporizer/ regulator gizmo that uses hot engine coolant to vaporize the propane- what does your set up look like? Maybe a picture? Sounds like you are freezing up?

Most 33.33 lb fork lift tanks are liquid feed and hold about 7.3 gallons. The 20 lb "gas grill" are vapor feed holding about 4 gallon. You can get "some" liquid from them by laying them on their side, but usually not enough to run a fork lift. You can get the 33.33 tanks at Lowes, Menards, TSC for about $75 new and you"ll have better results.
