what if water gets into regulator and co2 tank

[taz_boy]

hi,
guess recently my co2 tank run out of gas, due to the pressure difference, the water some how siphoned back....
though i install check valves b/w my bubble counter and my regulator, some how the water i can still see water on the regulator that's suppose to be connected to the air tube....
now i dunno if water actually went into the regulator or co2 tank....
if it happens to enter them...wat will happen? is there any remedies?

remove the regulator and let it dry for a few days.
then fix it back and turn on main tap slowly. check for leaks.
hope every thing turns out ok.
get a better check valve and increase the length of tube between regulator and bubble counter.

Btw, can water backflow into the solenoid and cause it to malfunction?
I had the same problem with backflow, even with a bubble counter. I was kinda lazy to reconnect the b.c with a longer tubing to the needle valve, as I'd assumed that backflow will not go so far as to enter the needle valve/ solenoid.
Now I'm wondering if my laziness had caused my solenoid to be damaged!

it is possible. any particles in the backflow water is going to be deposited inside the solenoid valve. given the tight fitting of the plunger, these deposited particles could have jammed the plunger.
