When you initially mentioned a leak it didn't occur to me that you were experiencing a low flame due to the regular safety mechanism.
I've had this happen to me several times with my grill. It seems to come and go; I'll have the problem a few times in a row and then not for several months. Perhaps it is related to the outside temperature but I haven't paid that much attention.
While you allowed the tank to cool and sit for a period of time, the reset has always worked for me right at the grill in less than a minute: close the valves, disconnect and reconnect the line, then open the valves.
Glad you got it working without the hassle and cost of replacing the regulator.
