manifold leak
I have a new manifold with a leak between the manifold and the shutoff. I don't want to wrench on it. But what's the best way to pull it apart without a vice? I want to retape it.

Re: manifold leak
Have you pinpointed the leak? I'd wanted to be sure I knew exactly where it was leaking before I pulled anything apart. Could be as simple as a hose/oeteker clamp not being tight enough. Stars an is pretty handy for finding leaks because it bubbles so easily.Keith wrote:I have a new manifold with a leak between the manifold and the shutoff. I don't want to wrench on it.

Re: manifold leak
Another new tank is dead. I can't seem to find the leak, dave replaced the manifold as well. Any suggestions? I've submersed it at 30 psi.

Coke or Pepsi kegs? I had a slow leak on one of my keg pressure relief valves and it was emptying my CO2.
