Not all din yoke adapters are created equal.
The dimensions of the bearing surface vary.
We had an incident where an inexpensive adapter would not properly seat on many standard k valves in Bonaire. Apparently, the bearing surface of the adapter was a little bit too wide to seat properly. I loaned out one of my adapters and the leaks stopped. I use Xsscuba stainless adapters.
This problem did not manifest itself at home, perhaps because we do not use standard k valves, but rather the convertible valves with the din insert. So the fact that an adapter works on a given type of tank does not mean that it will work on all tank valves.
