“Hey! It seems like the C02 tank empties within days. When I set up the keg initially we set the pressure at 10 psi, and then 2 days later it was at 0 psi. If there is a leak in the line, how would I know? Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!”

remove the regulator, turn the knob on the tank a hair, if you hear air then you know your tank is ok and has air. most likely an issue with the regulator, similar to the one i am having. be prepared to have to return the entire unit to a local store if you can't get it resolved.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You should first test all of the Co2 fittings using a soap and water solution. A soft bristled paint brush should apply the solution to all fittings (don't forget the hoses!). Pressurize the setup and look for the bubbles to form. Also, don't a forget to check is the fiber or Teflon outlet washer and the valve on the Co2 tank.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Same thing happened to me, you have to tighten down all the clamps. I assumed they were already tight but they are not. Also, one of the lines was crimped from the packing and there may have been a slight crack, I cut it back and removed a short piece of pipe and now no leaks and co2 is lasting fine and holding steady
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I had a issue with my 1st 5lb tank only lasting a 1/6 and a half. Could have been filled in correctly in my case.. as far as losing pressue over time without use, sounds like a leak. Did you install the o ring which is hanging from the tank I believe? Other way of checking is a spray bottle with soapy water. Best of luck
