    Hello. I have a Keg Connection CO2 regulator and I bumped the high pressure gauge denting it. The needle is stuck so I have no idea how much gas is left. Can that be replaced with a similar gauge from a welding supply or gas refiller or do I need to order the exact one from Keg Connection? Thanks.

    As long as the gauge is designed for 0-2000 (or so) PSI it will work.

    I wouldnt sweat it too much though. until you get under ~10% liquid, the gauge will always read vapor pressure, which is temp dependent, but has nothing to do with how much liquid is in the tank.
