Default Co2 Leak ????
Well i recently replaced my danby internals with all micromatic parts. New coupler new double regulator. However after doing all this i noticed the next day or so that i went though my 5LB co2 tank. I have gone through probably 3 kegs but last i checked it was reading full. I am not sure if there is defiantly a leak as most of the stuff is new but what is best way to check for this at where it could be. I have heard of the soapy water just unsure of how to exactly do that. Could it have not been a full co2 fill. I just didnt expect there to be any leaks in a newer system any ideas.??

Soapy water .. you just spray it on the fittings and look for bubbles (leaks).
With pressure on the system.

did some inspecting and noticed that the micromatic coupler does not have that little clear ball in the middle. I assume that could be the problem huh??
