I’m expanding my system to accommodate a second keg to force carb while in storage. I picked up some QDs from Amazon and can’t stop them from leaking at the MFL connection. I have tried every combination of the following:
A) cranked down like hell on it—I think I may have even busted one as the metal now spins a bit in the plastic housing. *shrug*
B) added one of those little nylon washers, even though these have “built-in” washers and shouldn’t need it since it’s metal/plastic.
C) smeared a little keg lube on it. Helped a little but not enough.
So…
1. I read you’re not supposed to use Teflon tape with MFL but should I?
2. Is this just a manufacturer’s defect (shame on me for buying from Amazon)?
3. Am I dumb and don’t know about X?
