There could be several causes for each of these problems.  Over-carbonated, foamy beer causes: the beer temperature being too warm, the gas pressure on the keg is incorrect, the blend of carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas is incorrect, or there could be obstructions in the beer line.

Under-carbonated, flat beer causes: the beer temperature is cold, the gas pressure on the keg is incorrect, or the blend of carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas is incorrect.

Please consult Central McGowan-FESSLER immediately to help you resolves these problems.

Locate the gauge at the top center of the tank. It is a typical fuel-gauge-style meter shaped like a small square, half moon or upside down test tube, and it reads Empty, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and Full.

There are two other round gauges on the top of the tank. One supply gauge reads 0-160 psi or 0–200 psi. The vessel pressure gauge reads 0–400 psi.

If the supply gauges reads 90 or less and/or the vessel pressure gauge reads 100 or less, the tank does not have enough pressure to push carbon dioxide. Please contact Central McGowan-FESSLER at 515-255-5717.

When an empty bag-in-box syrup container is left connected, the pump may operate continuously, causing carbon dioxide to be wasted and potentially emptying the bulk system.

Solution: Each time a bag-in-box syrup container is replaced, the fitting should be cleaned thoroughly in warm water to remove syrup buildup. This allows the check valve in the fitting to close when the bag-in-box is empty or removed.

The liquid bulk carbon dioxide system feeds all of your carbonated drink dispensers, including soft drinks, draught beer, frozen drinks and juices. Should a downstream leak occur, carbon dioxide will be wasted and may empty the bulk system.

Solution: Contact your dispenser agent to have the leak repaired.
