Ok, I know this was probably asked before, but I need a little help.
My kegerator was working fine up until two weeks ago. I had a 5# CO2 canister (lets say canister #1) hooked up and it was going well for 3 kegs. I hooked up the next keg in it and the CO2 canister (canister #1) went out a couple of days later. I thought nothing of it, and hooked up another CO2 canister (canister #2) to it and the canister was done within a week with minimal use. I went to airgas, got a refill of both, got more teflon tape, made sure I had a o-ring inbetween the regulator and the canister (#2) and hooked it up. A week later, the exact same thing. There was still 7 psi in the keg, but the canister (#2) is empty. Canister #1 is now hooked up as an hour ago....
Is it possible for the keg to be leaking the CO2 or the canister (#2) to be? Or where abouts should I be looking? I am a little confused as the hoses and everything else worked fine up until this last keg.
Right now, I have the canister #1 hooked up, filled the keg with CO2 and turned off the CO2 to see if there will still be pressure in the keg tomorrow morning, but I assume there will be as there has been still pressure when the last canisters went empty. What else should I be doing or do you think there could be something wrong with the canister? I hope this make sense...
Also, completely off subject, I have had this kegerator for a couple of kegs, how the hell do I get the tube unscrewed from the inside of the tap tower? I know this is probably and entirely too retarded of a question, but I cannot get it unscrewed from in there....
