I just got my co2 tank filled, and it's empty. I think I've found where the leak is- it seems to be leaking around the adjustment screw. The nut around the adjustment screw was very loose but I never noticed it before. I guess my questions are these- was it only leaking because the nut was so loose? Or was it leaking there because I have a bad diaphram or something like that?
Is there a way to tell just by looking at it if it's bad? I do suspect it's more than around the adjustment screw- because even when the tank wasn't empty, I got a slllooooooowwwww pour at a supposed 12 psi. That's what made me realize I had a leak somewhere. After spraying with some star-san, I ruled out every where else, but seemed to be hearing it leak by the adjustment screw very slightly.
The regulator is less than a year old, and treated like a baby. (Well, except for being in the fridge part. I never put any of my kids in the fridge for any length of time).
