When I first setup my kegerator the first CO2 bottle lasted about a week. Knowing that I had a leak I took all connections apart, put them back together and used a gel leak finder. I found a small leak in the 2 valve air distributor (which I didn't take apart). This was the only leak that I found. After talking to my LHBS they told me that even a small leak could drain the tank in a few days. I took the air distributor apart re-wrapped the connections and put it back together, re-checked the connections for everything with the leak gel and no more leaks. I put everything together and the pressure on the tank stayed constant for about a week so I was pretty happy. Yesterday the pressure was fine but when I checked the tank again this morning the tank was completely empty. I understand that the tank pressure can remain pretty high with little CO2 left in the tank and then bottom out when the tank is empty.
Any suggestions/help? I want to throw everything across the room and smash it with a sledgehammer.
I keep the CO2 tank inside the kegerator if that makes a difference. I've also read that lower temps will make the pressure on the guage go down but I confirmed that there is no more gas in the tank as nothing will come out.
Please help...
