I bought a ranco about two months ago from a retailer on ebay. A few days ago the unit stopped working. The wiring is good, the unit is getting power. It worked well for about six weeks before shutting down. I'm not getting an error message, it simply shows no sign of being on. Has...

I'm looking to increase the number of beers I can have on tap, but I don't want to buy another gas splitter. I also don't want to go without a check valve. I was thinking about cutting a gas line on the keg side of the gas splitter and adding a tee. I was thinking about something like this...

I just bought a converted keg but it has an ugly black spot in the bottom. I tried a soak in C-brite but the stain is still there. Has anyone seen/dealt with this before? Here is a picture:
