Gas Regulator Help!

[kuenro02]

So I was given a gas regulator from a family friend. I got my tank filled tonight and went to hook it up. I turned gas on and gas sprayed out by the nut connection (right where the regulator and tank hook up). What am I doing wrong or do I have to buy a new regulator?

There's supposed to be a gasket/o-ring thingy between the tank and the input to the regulator...

Cheers!

That's what I was thinking. Do they sell those at most brew shops?

If they carry tanks and regulators, they will. Otherwise any welding supply or gas company will have them...

Cheers!

Day trippr you are the man! I remembered I had found something on the floor a few weeks back. I didn't know what it came from but I kept it. Guess what it was!!! I have my first beer in the kegerator getting cold tonight instead of tomorrow because of you. Thanks buddy
