Hi Chaps, wonder if you could offer any advice. I'm running a BOC Y Argoshield light and the reg is a bull nose fitting not a taper of course. Not had a problem until this bottle, which leaks. I have checked and cleaned the thread, the bull nose and snifted the bottle. Nothing evident. I have tried the nut just nipped and increased tightening to see if the leak stops. Even when 'knocked up' fairly hard, there is still a small leak. I used some bubble blowing solution and there are bubble still rising around the stem. I haven't used it much, so is my best option to take it back and have them exchange it? Or are there any crafty old dodges - and no I have not got PTFE tape on the threads.
I always close the valve between welds anyway just so that I don't lose all my gas if something goes amiss. The bottle incidentally doesn't use a bottle spanner, it has a built in handwheel, which I thought was odd.
