Regulator question

Hello,
Make sure you use Teflon tape. Most regulators do not use rubberized gasket. Instead the slippery hard white nylon stuff.<hr></blockquote>
Titus that slippery hard white nylon stuff (teflon) is all the regulator should need to seal. if you are using teflon tape on the threads there is something wrong with either the regulator or the mating surface on the tank, or you are using the wrong regulator for CO2. I work with High pressurre regulators all the time and if they wont seal we replace the "teflon" washer and if that still doesent work we throw it in the garbage and buy a new regulator (or bottle) you can mickey mouse it but using tefloon tape to seal the threads when the mating surfaces should do all the sealing is well what I would concider almost dangerous concidering how much pressure there is and that the threads were never ment to seal in the first place.
