Co2 gas issue

[nickbfc]

Hi , has anyone had problems with poor gas from or through their regulator as my kegs (corny) are not getting carbed and also it is not sufficient to pour drinks through my pumps either

Welcome to the forum
A silly question but have you left the gas on and it has leaked away and the cylinder is empty?
If not give us a more explained detail of your set up or pics will do you can upload them so that we can be of more help

Is the gas tank fully open? Did you reduce the psi, whilst hooked up, and let it sit at the psi you wanted? You need to go below the desired psi and then turn the psi up to what you want.

Have you got check valves on the gas line, if so are they fitted the right way round there should be an arrow showing the direction of flow

No I don’t I’m afraid , I have disconnected the regulator from the co2 and there is strong gas from that but when I reconnect the regulator it becomes quite weak in my opinion

Perhaps there is an issue with your disconnect or post.

It’s on all 3 kegs of mine none are dispensing beer

I would try a different regulator

Yeah I’ve spoken to brewkeg tap where I got it and they said they will supply another

What pressure are you setting? The regulator output appears to be showing zero to me.

Your piccie of your gas cylinder and regulator: You are showing a healthy cylinder pressure (can't read what the gauge says but it will say about 800-900PSI on those naff, very inaccurate, gauges). But as @Hazelwood Brewery has pointed out ... your low pressure gauge says zero. Is that right? Have you wound the regulator to off on purpose?

Yeah I’ve turned it off as there is no point at the minute having it on

I have one of those naff, very inaccurate, gauges which works a treat

Aye, they do the job and aren't very critical anyway. But the guy's having enough trouble without drawing attention away to a seemingly incorrect gauge reading (it's saying 700PSI when it should be around 860PSI ... but such "errors" are quite normal with those gauges).

All an update on my gas issue and yes I still have one , I have a new gas cylinder and a new regulator and still no joy carbing my kegs . Like I’ve said before I’m getting gas to the john guest fittings and I’ve swapped them around just in case it was faulty but the gas isn’t getting into the cylinder for some reason

Are you using it correctly. What are you doing? Is your keg new?

 

[Rodcx500z]

In your picture on the first post it shows your reg and is showing it is full, the other dial is showing zero which tells me the big black nob in the middle of the dials needs to be turned clockwise slowly and it will release gas to the keg when it gets to the black number 20 stop turning, it is now set at 20psi if you want a lower pressure turn it back anti clockwise a little and pull the prv ring

 

[phildo79]

Don't tell me this is a case of NOT turning the dial to set the outlet pressure!

 

[Rodcx500z]

Look at the pictures, keg is showing full outlet zero
