Sure has, thanks!
glad i could introduce you to molarity.....wait till you hit water chemistry and have to try and wrap your brain around normality...pain in the ass, like tangents, to logarythims....

How about filling the keg with air to 15 psi (otherwise CO2) and inverting it in a bucket of water, that will confirm the gas leak.
Of course air is a mixed gas so there are several different molar weights of gas in there. But overall the CO2 is denser but won't separate out and fall out first.

they say some types of o-ring are permeable to o2! this is no laughing matter!

Silicone O rings I believe and they shouldn't be lubricated with silicone grease either if memory serves me correctly.
I wouldn't have thought that the cam lock mechanism was strong enough to prevent a water leak either. I know it doesn't in mine. It won't put even pressure all around the seal while air pressure puts it everywhere around the seal. I usually have to adjust the lid a couple of times to make it seal enough so that I can shake the oxiclean/starsan upside down when cleaning and not get it all over the kitchen floor.
