    CO2 Tank

    Hi guys,

    Need help from people who knows more about CO2 tank and regulators.

    I just had my CO2 refilled. It lasted 7-8 days. My mistake was I didn't do a full leak check. I thought it could be the regulator. Send to store and they check it wasn't. So i suspect it's my installation.

    2nd time round I did checks. On every part. Using the norm. Bubble check.

    All is good. Then I was looking at that other part of the CO2. No idea what it is call. Check online, the fella said its safety, it's supposed to release some pressure from the tank when it reaches certain pressure?


    But here's the thing, that thing has three holes. My bubbles balloons everytime. I did a check at 9-10pm earlier and now it's 1am!!

    Expert advice please before I call the store later.

    Thanks

    I would say your co2 tank valve need to be replaced but if you bought it from LFS then they should be able to exchange 1-1 for you. Even when my co2 doesn't leak, they also last me about 2 week

    You can bring it to Bioplast aka Systems & Control at Boon Keng area. Check the LFS directory for address and phone number.
    Have a good feeling the boss there will be able to plug the leak for you, you can also do instant top up there.

    Hiya bossteck,

    Someone by the name of *cough Felix *cough told me to go there too. LOL. But I didn't want to listen. I wanted the store I bought it from to rectify this for me.

    Have already send an email. And will do a check again tonight before I bring it down to them.

    Thanks guys. This helps.
