I am having more problems with my CO2 system. I just had my 5gal tank
refilled and reconnected my JBJ regulator with one of those plastic washers
as everyone suggested. I checked for leaks, and there were none.
However about 3-4 hours later all hell broke loose and CO2 started leaking
from around the neck of the regulator where it is attached to the tank.
Is this a bad regulator? Or does the tank have too much pressure??
I immediatly turned off the valve to the tank. Unscrewed the regulator
and checked the washer and other fittings, all looked well and reconnected
everything. Opened back up the valve and once again, massive gas escaping.

Does anyone know if these JBJ regulators are not of high quality?

Is there a standard regulator that most everyone uses?

thanks

I'll be interested to hear your findings John. I just had a replacement
regulator empty my tank as well. I suspect the double washer problem, but
I'll know more when I get my tank refilled.
