To test your regulator for an internal leak.
turn on the tank valve and set your low pressure to 100 kpa .
now turn the low pressure valve anti clockwise all the way to
reduce it to zero and turn off the tank valve.
now hook up to your keg and use the pressure release valve
on it to bleed out all the line pressure.
your low pressure should read zero and the tank should still
say full or whatever it was that you started with.
let this set several hours or overnight, the high pressure dial
should not move and if it does you may have a problem.
To test your lines for leaks:
turn on your tank valve and set your low
low pressure to 100 kpa.
first use your hand to see if you can feel any
leaks and listen for them.
get a spray bottle and fill it with soapy water,
spray all your connections and your quick
release keg fitting.
If there is a leak tiny bubbles like froth will
appear - take your time , watch , respray -
sometimes it takes awhile for them to show up
