CO2 bottle or regulator problem

[GotOneBrewin]

Hi all. I'm new to kegging and I have a 6kg co2 bottle and ODL regulator.
I have successfully used it to carb and serve 1 keg before.
I have gone to pressurise a keg of cleaner today and nothing happens when I turn the gas on.
Have I managed to lose the remainder of the bottle or have I done something to the regulator?
The bottle still weighs 16kg

Easiest way to check the contents of the cylinder is remove the regulator and crack open the bottle, you’ll soon know if there’s gas inside and unless you have a leak somewhere on the line you should have plenty of gas left.

Thanks for the reply. It's empty. I might've leaked when I left the bottle open and connected to the empty keg

When you get it refilled and set it up again, go round all the connections with some soapy water to test for leaks.

Shaving gel works better.

Shaving gel works better.

I don't know if that is the case but how many of us use shaving gel, most of us have washing up liquid in the house.

Starsan in a spray bottle also works.
