Keg Charger Leaking

[kabooby]

Just thought I would post this for anyone that may encounter a similar problem.

Recently I went to use my keg charger on my party keg an put a new co2 cylinder in. When I screwed the cylinder holder in the gas started leaking out. I thought that maybe the cylinder was not pushed up far enough for it to seal properly so I put in some more packing. Same thing happened. After I wasted a few cylinders I thought it had to be something else.

I noticed there is a little rubber seal in the end of the charger. I Pulled this out, put on some keg lube and put it back together and it worked fine.

I think the rubber washers get a bit flat if they are left with the cylinder screwed in all the time.

Has anyone else had this problem?
