I know that seems like a stupid question and your first response is probably, "None, jackass!", but hear me out for a sec. I have a kegerator that holds two cornys. Attached is a 20lbs. cylinder and a dual regulator. I had a leaking issue that turned out to be a combination of the relief valve and gas post on one of the kegs. The other keg tested fine.
My issue is, I opened the tank up and pressurized my good keg to 10 psi. I then shut off the tank and left the pressure in the line. On the regulator, I have a gauge that shows the cylinder pressure which is typically 800 psi. So, after shutting the tank off, the cylinder gauge read 800, the regulator is at 10, and the tank is pressurized with all valves leading to opened. 24 hours later, the cylinder gauge shows 500 psi, indicative of a slow leak, correct? Is this acceptable? I've run through everything imaginable with star-San solution to look for leaks and have found nothing. There is no liquid in the keg for the gas to diffuse into. Any possible suggestions or physics quirks I'm missing?
