Beginner camping stove question on soapy water test
Hi,
Beginner camper using a cadac camping stove for the first time. Excited to try it as it arrived with the regulator and canister today. EN417 type. I carried out the soapy water test for leaks as I've read to before use and unfortunately I'm getting lots of foaming, it looks like it comes from under the lip of the canister, however this only happens when the regulator is connected. (Image included in the post) Without the regulator connected there is no foaming when I test the same area. I've tried disconnecting, reconnecting, re tightening, everything I can find suggested online. There is no visible damage to the regulator o ring or threads or the cannister valve. Is this just a case of buying both a new cannister and regulator and testing each again to see which one is faulty? Any advice would be appreciated, I can't find any videos or examples online that really help me understand this. Most show huge bubbles forming in the tests not this foaming. I'd really love to be able to try the stove out next weekend when I'm camping, but don't really feel like it's safe to do so until I know more about this. Appreciate any insight. Thank you in advance.
