All,
I had an issue last night and could smell heavy co2. I thought I had a leak, so I turned everything off. I woke up this morning and put pipe tape on the threads on the co2 tank and reconnected it tight to my regulator. I took soapy water (and also starsan) and sprayed down all of my fittings and where the hoses connect to for gas. I can't see any bubbles anywhere, but I smell a slight smell of co2 in the keezer. Is that normal? How else can I test for leaks short of removing everything and possibly submersing in the tub?
I'm wondering if it could just be left over from last night, but I'm not sure how long that smell hangs around. Is there any way that I can clear the smell out to be sure that it's not still leaking?
Thanks!
