[Shop-talk] air tank mounting/filling suggestions?

[Richard George]

Hi,

I mounted an air hose coupler on my portable tank and put a decent air 
chuck on a short hose. To fill the tank fast I made up a male-male 
connector so I can
hook it directly to my air lines - you use the valve on the tank to keep 
things from getting exciting (turn off valve, plug in male/male, plug in 
air line,
turn on valve to fill,  turn off valve when full, disconnect airline, 
etc).  It fills pretty quickly.

Its also handy to be able to put a longer hose on the air tank, use the 
tank to power air tools in a pinch, etc.

Best,

> so I got a new air tank from harbor freight. it's got the schraeder chuck for filling, with a dial open/close valve. it works fine but takes forever to fill it. I was going to hook up a quick disconnect off the main compressor line and some ball valves, but I thought before I reinvented the wheel I'd ask here to see if anyone has a setup they like.
