Please keep us posted on the outcome.

so did you found out what happen?

Do the basic check first.
Check your fastenings, i.e. the attachment of the CO2 tank
to your meter gauge.
I had a similar incident just before CNY this year.
Full tank ran out in 10 days.
At first worried due to damaged meter gauge,
costly item to replace (mine was a Dennerle).
Took a chance and change the tank,
make sure it was really screwed on tight.
Turned out ok, phew!
Suspect it could be that I didn't really screw on
tightly for the previous tank.

Hi,

My advise is to take the sponge that you use for washing your dishes and wipe a layer of dishwashing liquid foam over the coupling of the cylinder to your regulator/valve and over the meter. Look carefully for any bubbling that will indicate a leak. I had a similar situation years ago where a cylinder woulod empty within a week. Found out the the regulator was leaking out in one of the meters....

Good idea. Cyclists do take on tires.
