MA957 Milwaukee7 regulator busted

i could give a **** about the guage, all i know is that the co2 is shooting out of the side of the regulator when i try to open the co2 tank. its useless

Calm down and take a deep breath.

When you fix the gauge it might fix your problem. As it sits now I wouldnt fiddle with it any more until you fix the gauge, you are just wasting gas.

Can you take a picture of exactly where the gas is shooting out of when you turn the cylinder on?
 
Ah ha!

You will still need to replace that gauge, but that is a seal designed to prevent overpressurization of the tank. Be it from fire or an over filled tank etc.

If you have a welding supply store nearby you can take your regulator there and get them both fixed at the same time.
 
try the following..
Close the valve on the cylinder..
Open the needle valve so any gas thats in the regulator escapes..
turn the knob on the regulator all the way counterclockwise so that it almost comes off.
remove the regulator from the cylinder..
switch out the disks (forgot name lol) that came with the regulator that go between tank/regulator
Screw the regulator back on and try same steps on turning it on as the box shows.
 
i will try to take the thing off and replace the seal. I cant believe this happened. I just got a bunch of high light plants too that are going to rot

thanks for the replies
