Wanted to make certain that I am not missing anything/doing anything wrong before I return the regulator & 5t lb CO2 tank to the LHBS. I have a dual gauge regulator (looks pretty nice - I paid $75 for it so it had better be). I taped the male end of the CO2 tank with teflon tape (around 6 revolutions - a good amount of tape) and tightened the nut on the regulator connecting to the tank with a Crescent wrench so that it is snug and tight. Each time that I have tested the connection with Star San there is a leak - very small granted but still a leak. I have re-wraped the male end 4 different times and the same result - leak. I noticed that the interior threads on the female end on the regulator look a little bit scuffed so that may be the problem. Is there anything obvious that I am overlooking before I return the regulator? Thanks Montanaandy
