Default Solenoid and leaking co2 problem

Hi bro,

I got some probelm with my solenoid, juz purchase yesterday. While using it, i can hear a hissing sound, sound of leaking co2 and the co2 gas chilled the connector, the washer of my solenoid. After numerous tightening up, i still couldn't solve this problem. Anyone know how? Or i juz never tighten enuf even though i can't tighten it any furture...

Inside the big nut(the 1 that tighten to the tank) should have a white plastic washer, additional step to take is to "white tape" the threads before screwing on the solenoid.
Testing......
After assy, without power, turn the main valve on then tun off again, take note of the first gauge reading. Leave setup for a day, then check reading, should still be the same.
