Leaking gas post on corny keg

Post by gobuchul » Mon Sep 07, 2015 5:15 pm

One of my corny kegs has a leaking gas inlet post.

If I charge it up with CO2 and then remove it, it leaks back through the inlet valve.

I have took it off but I can't see anyway of opening it up to fix it.

Are these servicable or do I need a new gas post?

The post should have a poppet inside of it, it will most likely need replacing, there's a guy on here sells universal ones or you can get them off of eBay. I and the same problem, only mine was on the liquid side so it slowly leaked beer. As soon as I replaced the poppet it was spot on.

Apologies but I am not sure what you mean by a poppet?

Do you have a link or a photo?

Can this be replaced or do I just buy a new post?

These are the various original types, I prefer the universal poppet which is like a conical spring with poppet like top. I used to get leaky posts but with the universal poppets no longer :)
