Gas leaks

I appear to have a gas leak but can't find it, I went through one cylinder of gas to one keg.I always turn the cylinder off when finished.
I have poured soapy water over the keg and lines up to the regulator, is there any way I can test the regulator??
Or do I have to send it away, it's so where do I send it to?
Thanking you in advance.

Best just to use a spray bottle of soapy water and spray on everywhere that gas could leak from, if you get bubbles bubbling, there is your leak, ensure gas is turned on too when you check..

I had a small leak somewhere and it was just where I screwed the regulator onto the gas bottle, just needed to give it a good tighten up and all was good..

If you turn your gas bottle off and it has gone through a bottle, it could well be leaking from the bottle itself at the top..

or.... Replace C02 bottle with LPG bottle and use a candle. :shock:

You will surely find the leak but may not be around to fix it.
