I've lost my gas tank twice over the last year, usually blaming some average kegs I got when I first started kegging, but I've also had suspicions about the lines and splitters themselves.
I've had the setup quite simple for the last few months: Tank>Reg>NRV>One Gas QD. No leaks.
The other day I decided to try going back to my complex setup: Tank>Reg>NRV>Splitter>Splitter>Three Lines.
I turned the gas on to 30KPA, and the high pressure gauge showed my available gas. I then turned off the gas to avoid risking losing it all. 24 hours later, both gauges were showing zero.
Tried the same tonight, but am monitoring more closely. The high pressure gauge has almost dropped to zero, but the low pressure is still at 30kpa.
Is that just the nature of leaks...high pressure first then low pressure, or is this giving me an hint as to where I can find the leak?
