Co2 leak
hi guys, i bought a 10# about two months ago, got a new regulator and switched the solenoid for the old reg. and put it together. two days ago i noticed no bubbles coming out and i was shocked.. how can i test it properly for leaks? do you know/have a prefered method?? thanks a bunch!!

well i went to refill the tank and #1 i didnt have a washer...
#2, i tried the soapy water and noticed the part were the solenoid goes with the reg. had in fact been leaking...i changed the solenoid from a non working regulator and it was so darn hard to get it off that the piece that attaches them (don't know the name) was all worn off in all sides!!! there was my leak... spent like $3 bucks at the home depot in new pieces and looks all good now.
