I went to fill up a bottle from my kegerator this morning and heard a leak coming from my CO2 Tank and Regulator. It was leaking quite a bit at the large nut that connects the regulator to the tank. It has been hooked up for a while now and I've had no leaks or issues with the pressure dropping. Does anyone know why or what would cause it to suddenly start leaking like that? I haven't touched the tank or regulator in some time, but I think the leak has to be fairly recent. Also any tips on how to solve this so it doesn't happen again? The nut is very tightly screwed on as well.

CO2 Tank/Regulator Leak
Oh ok. Might try 2 of the ones you gave me next time then. No mine wasn't knocked over. Knock on wood it hasn't leaked again after I tightened it down.
So you put a total of 3 washers in there? Does that make a better seal?
Heard some people on HBT recommending these. Think I may pick one up. Might help make a better seal??

Bill there sure is. It just seems strange that it would start to leak after being sealed and with no issues for several weeks. Man I love kegging, but hate trying to deal with and troubleshoot these leak problems.
