Disaster! I went to my fridge yesterday and there was beer all over my floor. I have a single tap system that I've been switching between my two kegs. When I remove the gas line from one keg, beer is leaking up through the post. Is this a post problem or perhaps an Oring issue? I'm amazed at how much beer has been lost this way.

If beer is leaking from the gas post when you remove the gas QD there are at least two problems, with one being a leaky poppet...

There are many different types of poppets. If you mix yours up they do not always seal correctly. Ever since I mixed mine up and had issues I ordered the universal one from kegconnection. Works great but on a couple of mine I have to really push the gas line on since it is tight.

I guess there's no way for it to go up that way so it must be through the out line. I removed both posts and changed all the orings except for the ones on the poppet and dip tubes. Hoping this will work. If not, I'll try changing poppets and other rings when my supplies arrive. Not sure what kind of Oring goes on the dip tubes.
Gray = Gas = Goes In = Notched Post = Short Dip Tube
