After a tragic incident in which two poppets went down the drain, I bought some new ones. The new ones cause beer to gush out of the beer-out post when CO2 is hooked up. It doesn't matter how much I tighten the post. If I attach the beer line, it doesn't leak anymore. But it's annoying that I have to do that. What should I do? Buy different "universal" poppets? Here's a picture of the new and old poppets. The new one is longer. The picture on amazon made it look like they'd be the same size as the old poppets. I wrongly assumed that "universal" would mean they would work.
