Default Yet another foamy issue!!!

Hey everyone, brand new on the forum with a new kegerator set up in a basement refrigerator. My very first keg is a quarter of Miller Lite. I am at sea level. I brought home the keg and let it sit in the fridge over night. The liquid temperature is 38 degrees. I couldn't drill through this fridge (It's almost new) so I am using a kegerator kit with a 2ft flexible picnic faucet line. I set the pressure at 14 pounds and the beer comes out blazing fast and with a ton of foam. Is the beer line way too short? Should I drop the pressure? What are the different settings when using a picnic faucet? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm dying of thirst over here!!!!!
Thanks ahead of time,

Rob

Beer line needs to be five feet at a minimum but, I would recomend starting with six feet. Why not drill a hole for the tap? You are going to have bad temp fluctuations from opening and closing that fridge every time you get a beer. I made my kegerator from a new kenmore fridge and couldnt be happier.
