The second ****ing time in a week, I went to pull a pint and NOTHIN!!! My fresh tank was empty. This friggin blows. I filled the tank and kept an eye on it for a few days. Seemed ok. I haven't pulled a beer in a few days, but went I went to pull about 10 minutes ago, it was empty...After yelling and screaming, just felt like ranting..Now I have to find the damn leak..that is all. Ahhhhh!!!
 
get your spray bottle of starsan solution and spray everything down. crank up the PSI to a million, makes it easier.

you DO have a spray bottle of starsan....right??? :)

Ha(thanks for making me laugh) Yeah, I do. I'll do that tomorrow. I don't know where it is. I've never had a leak like this. Might be the new keg I added A week or so ago. Damn I'm pissed. You know how annoying it is to want some homebrew and then nothin. I'm not that unhappy, I'm drinking a bottle of Edworts Apfelwein. This is the only stuff I bottle.

I gotta have a back up tank or something, I almost woke up the whole house with my ranting raving like a crazy person...
 
Same just happened to me, MFL connection got loosened somehow, pissed me off something fierce, but **** happens right?
 
I feel your pain, Brother.

Any way you can submerge it in a bucket or maybe the bath tub. That would make it real easy to find. Always on a Sat afternoon, can't get it filled until Monday. Sucks, I know.

Did the keg have pressure?
 
What does MFL stand for? Which connection is the MFL fitting?

MFL = Male Flare fitting, the threaded part of this quick disconnect.

The mating side is an FFL - Female Flare fitting...

Cheers!
