Been using a FE for quite a while now, every time I refill it, I replace the fibre washer with a new one (all from the same batch).
The previous refill, it was on the tank for about a month, when I heard a hissing sound, and had to tighten the main regulator nut onto the FE.
I thought it was a fluke that it came loose and I couldn't have tightened it as good as I thought I had.
I refilled the FE, replaced the washer, made sure it was very tight, and was surprised how quick the FE ran out. I went to remove the FE and the reg was loose on the FE.
I was advised to use the fibre washers in around 2011 by someone on this forum and up until the last two refills, they have worked fine. I wouldn't have thought unused fibre washers deteriorate, they look fine?
Are there better washers I could try please?
It's a D-D thread converter going onto a normal FE
thanks
