Hey all,
I bought a dual regulator setup from Kegcowboy.com a while back and since then I've moved the CO2 setup outside my keezer and mounted it to the collar. I used (2) MFL Bulkheads to run the CO2 lines through the side so the regulator would be easily adjusted with the lid closed. Recently, I've noticed a steady but VERY slow leak and I've been trying to pinpoint it with no luck. I've attached a picture of the setup.
My latest test concerns me... I closed both outlet valves and turned opened the CO2 valve to pressurize the regulator assembly. I then closed the tank valve and let checked the pressure periodically. I've sprayed the whole thing down with soapy water and noticed NO bubbles of any size but I AM losing pressure. To take this picture I pressurized everything (needle was centered in the "green zone") and in the time it took me to pull out my phone and take the picture the needle, as you can see in the picture, is almost out of the "green zone" making it's steady decline to the dreaded red that means I have to make another trip to get the tank filled again.
The regulators are TapRite and the assembly attaches to the tank with the built-in rubber O-ring seal. I have also tried using a nylon washer in conjuction with this, with no luck... I still loose pressure. I'm down (2) 10# tanks so far and I'm just opening the CO2 canister as needed so I don't lose a 3rd. Any ideas? What am I missing?
