    hey y'all ,

    I've been having problems with my Kegerator lately. Just put on a new CO2 tank today and within a couple hours lost approx 400lbs of pressure. I've done the spray bottle test to look for leaks and haven't found a thing. Have replaced all the washers. Beer is pouring fine but co2 lasts for 1-2 sixtels. Anything will help. Thanks

    Turn the pressure up to 45 and retest with soapy water or just listen.

    check the sankey, specifically the lever.. I've found the cheap sankeys leak when moved side to side.

    Thanks guys. It did end up being the sankey coming loose. Thankfully that was an easy fix.
