Filling an Airforce Talon
I am new to the site so forgive me if this question has been answered. I am considering purchasing a Talon. I have access to Bauer compressor. Its capable of producing 4500 PSI. Its used to fill some small tanks similiar to a paint ball tank. What type of adapters, fittings, gauges, and bleed valves would I need to connect up to an airforce air tank? There is a gauge on the hose so I assume I could use this to verify the amount of air in the tank while filling. Once the tank is full how would I bleed the pressure to remove the tank. Where can I purchase this hardware.

My local SCUBA shop made a T junction for me with a guage, AF adapter, and DIN for my tank. I supplied the AF adapter, they sold me the rest.
Thanks for the info. Could you possible post a photo of your setup. I would have a better idea of what hardware to purchase at my local dive shop.
You can get a 1/4 BSPP to AF tank fitting from PA or AF.

I have a steel/DIN tank running at 3500psi. I get 15-20 fills at 2700psi before I need to get the tank filled. The shop was waiting on a custom T-Junction and then rigged this together with spare parts.
Note the orientation… the AF tank points down during the fill operation… not sure why? moisture?
