Oops I meant to type pin-lock but titled it ball lock. Recently I have bought, from two different stores, used pin lock kegs that had problems with leaking. They held pressure inside fine and I checked my whole system with soapy water and found no leaks anywhere. I noticed though that when hooked to the system, CO2 would escape if you wiggled the gas line connector and would only hold in a single careful position. Any bumping by a hose or when closing the door and you could get a leak. I hooked the gas line to another keg and couldn't make it leak no matter how hard I tried. I even pulled the gas line off of other kegs to hook to the new ones and they too leaked if wiggled. This told me there was something about the connection on the keg. It had new o-rings that I installed properly and I used keg lube. All the other kegs work fine, but these two, no matter what I do, will not stop leaking if even slightly moved or bumped. I've already returned one to the store a few weeks ago and am taking the second one back to the other store today.
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm not even sure if changing posts would work since it only happens when an airline is connected.
