"Small" leak on 300 Bar DIN valve

I do it all the time man. It's not slow. Takes a turn of the plug and it's good to go.

that's coming out of that small hole that we are talking about, not the valve threads. I don't know of any din valves in the US without it... not saying there aren't any, but all of the ones I've seen

14/38 tanks in my garage have the hole.

Seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.

DAMN, 38 tanks..

DAMN, 38 tanks..

at last count I wasn't at quite that many, but not including medical O2 tanks, i'm at 25. If I was fortunate enough to be in cave country like @PfcAJ and doing more trimix diving it would be higher

OP: I had a similar problem and kept blaming it on the reg. I then tried a different reg on the tank and that reg on a different tank. It was always the bad tank that bubbled.

PS: A valve rebuild is what it took. Halcyon handled the rebuild for me and I got two kits for future issues. @tbone1004 remembers how annoyed I was over that.

especially since I was the one who took it to EE to get the parts kits
