spog,

here is a reputable site which explains all (i thnk):

I also recall seeing one with good pics (cruisenews or something), but can't locate it now.

One think I had recently was the rubber on the top of the keg where the posts screw onto to create the seal was really worn & was causing gas leaks. I ended up using some silicon bakeware to craft a new washer to sit under the posts. Problem solved.

When I started kegging, I found this site very helpful and informative:
