Co2 leak?

[Paul Roberts]

Hi I have a sodastream adaptor with a kegland mk4 regulator. I have a leak somewhere as I have gone through 3 sodastream bottles trying to carb a keg. I cant see an obvious leak on the keg.

It hold the gas for 5 days or so and then somewhere in day 6 or 7 the bottle empties.

Any ideas on what to look for as a spray bottle isn't working

I'm guessing, but could it be a perished 'O' ring inside one of the disconnects?

If a spray bottle's not working then try dunking it head down in a FV full of water...

Incidentally I reckon you wouldn't have to go through many sodastream bottles before you'd be better off getting a full sized (6kg) cylinder - I think mine (from gas on the go) cost about £20 for the gas, plus £50 deposit
