Dual Regulator Leak

[Boom]

Hey guys

I have a dual regulator that has a slow leak after the first regulator. I've attached a picture with an arrow to the leak area.

It's slowly fizzing out around that old (teflon tape?) white stuff.

I've never taken apart a regulator - should I get a wrench and try to open it up where it's leaking and then re-tape the threads and that should fix it?

That should work, just disassemble, remove old teflon tape, re-wrap, then re-assemble. One word of caution so that you don't strip the threads, it could be right or left hand threads...so righty tighty and lefty loosey may not apply. Sometimes they stamp it on the body of the regulator.
