I just got this set up from kegconnection:
http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=324
The pressure gauge on the Co2 tank goes from 0-2000 psi. From 0-500 psi the gauge is marked in red with a warning saying "order gas". I had the tank filled last weekend and since then I have only used the tank to clean the beer lines and to expel oxygen from 2 kegs after filling them with beer (20 psi then purge, etc).
I noticed yesterday that the Co2 tank reads at only 600 psi when I turn on the gas. Since this is only 100 psi away from being in the red where I need to order gas I am concerned that the tank is close to empty. Unfortunately I didn't take notice of what the gauge read when I had it filled last weekend.
My question is, should the tank read 600 psi when full or do I have a leak? Surely I couldn't have used the majority of the gas just cleaning the beer lines and filling two kegs?
