As soon as I hook up my faucet tubing with a picnic tap, ball lock version, the beer comes out of the tap without me opening the tap. I switched the tap and it does the same thing. Any ideas?
 
I wonder if the beer could possibly be overcarbed? What happens if you pull the pressure relief valve and then try to dispense? How was the beer carbed up?
 
first, what PSI is the beer set at? second, the round top on the picnic tappers can unscrew and cause leaking. make sure its tight.
