CO2 Tank Problem
I just bought a 3L Aluminium CO2 tank from Y618 today. Followed the LFS staff's instructions to set up the CO2 system and it's bubbling well. Problem is, when i turn off the main valve at night (I don't turn off the Regulator valve), there is still CO2 bubbling into the bubble counter, and now I'm a little worried that maybe the main valve is not working well.
Is it normal for the CO2 to continue bubbling a while after the main valve is closed, maybe because of some pressure thingy? Or is the main valve faulty? Please advice. |

but i found another problem. the pressure of the tank was at 1000 IB/In^2 last night. when i woke up this morning, i found that the pressure was ard 750. There is no more bubbling since i switched off the main valve last night, but how come the pressure in the tank dropped? can the tank be leaking? |

does the pressure stated on the manual regulator drop when i switch off the main valve?
i've just switched it on 5 mins ago, but the pressure stated is still the same. |
