Apply several drops of solution where the regulator connects to cylinder.

IF BUBBLES APPEAR AT ANY CONNECTION, THERE IS A LEAK.
If there is a leak:

Turn the cylinder valve OFF.

If the leak is at hose/regulator connection: tighten connection and perform
another leak test. If bubbles continue appearing, the hose should be
returned to the place of purchase.

several attempts, the cylinder valve is defective and should be returned to
