About a week ago I had a slow leek and tracked it down to my tyre valve being buggered
changed that and re-gassed. Everything was fine for a few days and then checked the pressure again and would you believe it? Another leak! On closer inspection the actual cap had cracked at the threads! I normally reem them up but you don't expect that! Changed the cap and checked them both today and the previously good keg was flat!
After a couple of pints and staring at the bloody thing I worked out the only thing it could be is the relief valve rubber band. So I've changed that after by some miracle finding a spare one in my box of tricks.
I'm pretty sure it was the culprit as before, it would start to vent at 9psi but with my new one fitted it gets to 15psi before expanding.
So anyways, that's been my evening. Oh and I went to pour a pint from my sankey keg after not using it for a few weeks and the bloody sparkler is all clogged up! Turns out I can pour a much better pint without the little thing so no harm done!
If I get another leak I'm gonna cry!
