As you gathered from the title, I've been fighting CO2 leaks for about a year, the whole time I've had the Kergerator.
Usually, the pressure holds just fine for a few days or a few weeks, then all at once it completely drains over night/day. I never get more than one 5 gallon keg out of a 5lbs bottle and I these days I get much less.
I have checked for leaks using the soapy water method and also by holding parts under water while under pressure.
I have replaced the regulator with a Taprite T752HP.
I have replaced the lines with Accuflex 5/16th tubing.
I have replaced the main oring on the kegs.
I have new kegs in good condition.
I use Red Oak Tools stainless steel ball locks on one keg and generic white and black plastic couplers on the other.
I use Ferroday Ball Lock conversion couplers on my Sankey when I tap a store keg.
I use very tight worm gear hose clamps.
After a year of dealing with it I'm at my whits end. I bet its something dumb that I'm over looking because I can't find other people having the same problem.
Please help me.
