Impossible. The output pressure of first stage regulators are set anywhere from 110 to 150 psi ABOVE ambient pressure depending on brand. Using 110 psi, at the surface the first stage output is 110 + 15 or 125 psi. If the tank pressure is 125 psi the pressure drop from tank to 1st stage output is 125 - 125 = 0 psi. Zero pressure drop equals no flow and this is at the surface. This means absolute rock bottom tank pressure cannot drop below 125 psi. At depth to maintain flow the tank pressure must be higher.
Did you get that out of the flat earth society physics book? You might want to try breathing a tank down to empty through your regulator and then see what happen when you remove the regulator and open the valve.
