It is an mde valve, and leaks more if I tighten it more ??

Erm, the only way to make an MDE leak if everything else is fine is to overtighten it. It is invariably someone with a 12" spanner which will make an MDE leak. Take it in to a shop. Bear in mind if a manifold fails that's half your gas pretty much gone. It doesn't sound like you've got a grip on what's going on with these, and without a step by step guide with a load of photos you could well damage the thing. Especially if the tanks aren't straight and are full of pressure. You could also hurt yourself.

I'm all for DIY but there's a point where 10 minutes in your local shop will save you hours of your own time. They should let you watch what they are doing and help you to sort your own problem in future.

Digs.
