I'm having a issue with my Rex regulator. I refilled my 5 lb tank a few weeks ago. I was very surprised when it ran out two weeks later, only feeding a 55gal tank. The first canister lasted a couple months. On closer inspection I found that the perma-seal and fiber washer appear to be stuck in the regulator nut
. The nut is now very hard to turn and is stuck at the base of the regulators neck. Is there special way to get the perma-seal and the fiber washer out without destroying them?
