Corny O rings

[soupdragon]

Hi all

Simple question......

Would I still get a good seal on my keg if the O ring was missing from the beer out dip tube?

Cheers Tom

Simple answer, No.

Ah........

The long and short of the question is that I've got issues with one of my kegs...

Two kegs running off the one regulator, set at 15 psi @ 14-15c. Should give me 2 volumes in my beer. 7 foot of 3/16 beer line to party taps. One keg pours well the other pours mostly foam and splutters as it exits the tap.
I read on an American forum that someone with the same problem tracked it down to a missing O ring on the dip tube. Once it had been replaced the problem went away......

I said no because I've had them leak from there with an o ring. It's possible I suppose, whip it off and have a look, or just change them anyway.

I'll have to leave it for now. I know we have loads of O rings in work so I'll see if there's one to fit before I vent and attack the post with a spanner.... What's the betting I don't have the correct size spanner?

Quite likely, they're 7/8 AF. though I believe 22mm fit.

I'll have a dig around under the stairs where all the " useful " stuff lives to see what I can find :lol:
