Hi,
My latest regulator is a used Cornelius model that goes into to 2 secondary regulators.
This Cornelius regulator will not hold pressure when I turn off the tank valve and I assume it is at the tank connection ...maybe....
I want to try and stop it from leaking and bleeding down to zero pressure.
I have swapped different secondary gauge, re did all the teflon tape connections, put in a complete rebuild kit inside the regulator, tried a different tank connector, tried a rubber oring, nylon washer and fiber washer on the tank connection.
I have laid the regulator horizontal and flooded it with starsan including the safety pressure relief valve, while pressurized to find the leak, no dice.
I dont have a left hand thread primary guage to swap out.
I might try swapping out the secondary shut off.... but I think it is unlikely leaking...
I am out of options with this thing.
I assume it is the tank connection but can not stop it.
Any ideas?
thanks Kevin
