Title: CO2 Leak From Manifold
Post by: vinyljunkie on January 10, 2017, 07:50:09 PM

So I lost half a tank of gas while I was in work. I've poured soapy water on all joints and found this.(https://s30.postimg.org/j1rrd8cpd/Screenshot_20170110_190252.png)

Any ideas?

I bought it from HBC and have sent them a mail but was wondering if anyone has come across it I'd like to try fix it myself.

Tighten them up, On my one the "valve handles" are facing upwards not upside down like yours, so rotate them 180º clockwise.

The leak is on the underside, weird that this only started happening last night, it didn't get a bang or anything.

I'll give it a tighten with fresh PTFE.

Built my Keezer a year ago. Ran out of gas on Christmas Eve. Turn it off when you're not using it!!
