i keep losing all my co2!

[drummer4gc]

this is the third time this has happened - i go away for the weekend and come back to find that my co2 tank in my keezer is empty. i've sprayed around looking for leaks, replaced orings....not really sure what else to do!

i have my co2 manifold attached to the lid of the keezer, and my hunch is that when i close the lid, it puts pressure on the hoses, and therefore the disconnects, and if it pushes it in the right direction, it might cause a small leak. one that would stop when i open the lid to check for leaks. are there any better sealing disconnects out there, or any suggestions on how to avoid these types of leaks? this is frustrating/expensive.

Pin lock? Check the post o rings for size. Even though they are new, they might be too small. If you can hear any leaks when you wiggle the disconnect, they are too small. I learned this the hard way too.

they are pin lock, and occasionally they do leak when i wiggle the disconnect, but not every time...i ordered the orings from mcmaster carr based on the ones mentioned in this post https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/mcmaster-keg-o-ring-list-233086/

should i try a different size?

I tried those ones with no luck, despite what everyone said. Either size some up at the hardware store, or the green ones that williams brewing sells work good.
