I have a 20 oz CO2 paintball tank I want to use for kegging since my fridge is small. I bought this keg from Northern Brewer which comes with a regulator and all the necessary piping and fittings.

I bought this adapter for my paintball tank.

The nylon washer that goes between the CO2 tank and regulator is specially designed to fit normal 5 lb tanks.

I put this in my regulator and then screwed in the paintball adapter then screwed in the paintball tank and I think there might be a small leak.

Is there a different washer for a paintball tank setup I should be using instead of the nylon washer that came with the regulator? I put a brand new o-ring on my paintball tank and lubed it up so I know that's not the issue.

Thanks for the advice

Brett
