Gas pressure drops all of a sudden...

[Bulls Beers]

I have a two tap system. I'm only using one side. I pulled as pint off the tap last night. I checked the pressure and it was alittle over 800psi. I checked it because I was having pressure problems with the other side. I just came home and pulled a pint, the tank is almost empty. Now I did the soapy water test and didn't see any leaks. I 've had this tank hooked about for about a week and it's been fine. The only thing last night was crank the pressure to the keg a bit. A couple psi that's it. Any ideas??

You have a leak somewhere. Some leaks are a real pain to track down. I had a leak inside a low pressure gage. I had to immerse the tank & regulator to find the leak. Replacing the gage was the solution.

that's a serious leak you've got there. fill the tank back up and check every connection...twice.

How do you know the tank is almost empty? Did you weigh it?

Yeah, It's almost empty. It's weird though, It dropped from 800psi(full) to 600psi in one day. Then a day later it dropped to the call for gas red area. The funny thing is for a week or so prior it stayed at 800psi. Leaks blow...I'll fill up the tank tomorrow morning. When I get home, I'll check for leaks..Ugh!

Thanks...

BTW, how often do you change the gaskets on your kegs? Both the posts and the big one.
