So I lost a 20lb tank a few weeks back and quickly found the swivel nut attached to the 2nd regulator I just added was missing the nylon flare. So I put one of those little guys in and didn't seem to have any issues. I ended up replacing the 20lb with a 10lb due to height issues in my fridge. Fast forward to yesterday and I noticed that the 10lb tank is almost empty, UGH!
My setup is a dual body regulator, 2nd body has a line to a 2 valve manifold.
I disconnected my keg and after searching the forums did this:
-shut off valves from regulators to the lines/manifold
-set to 10 psi let it sit for a hour or two, PSI dropped to 0.
-disconnected 2nd body re-taped the connecting piece on both ends and reattached the 2 regulators.
-set psi back to 10 and after a hour the 2nd one had dropped to 0 but #1 was still close to 10.
-sprayed it all down with starsan and then soapy water
I see NO bubbles anywhere and I am so frustrated!
I read somewhere on the forums about submerging the whole thing. Is that a dumb idea? Set it it 10/20 PSI and put the whole tank/regulator setup under water? won't that fill the PSI gauges with water too?
Looking for help! I'm going to call the place I get the tanks filled(AirGas in Il) and see if they offer any leak check service b/c as it stands now in about 3 weeks I have gone thru a 20 & 10lb tank!
HELP!!!
