Gas leakage

[MrJay83]

Happy new year all.

I'm just wondering if some leakage in a kegerator/keezer gas system is to be expected and what would be acceptable?
I recently refilled my CO2 bottle, did a pressure test and there is a leak somewhere in the network. I set the pressure to 20psi, noted the pressure on my secondary regulators, turned off the gas (at the bottle) and came back to check on it every so often. It held pressure for about 6 hours. Then dropped off over the next hour and it must be a tiny leak because I can not find the source (brushed-on bubble liquid throughout).

Cheers

Always turn it off when you are done.

IME gas is just a leak waiting to happen.

I generally do. If I'm having a few glasses I'll wait till that session is done though. A leak this small shouldn't have any effect on how long my bottle lasts but I was just curious if people expect their system to hold pressure for very long periods of time.

I always get gas leakage after drinking beer... Or eating a curry.
