The tank is convenient and serves the purpose, but it does not have the same fittings that are shown in the picture. It does not have a "T" with both male and female quick connects. It only has the female. I called Customer Service with the company to complain about this and they said they had received a call from another person (just 1?) about this same discrepancy and suggested that I complain to The Home Depot (as if it's their problem). They also said they would have someone with the company call me, but nobody has called.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not As Described This tank does not have full size connectors on both sides as shown in the picture. Instead, it has a full size connector on one side and a small air fill fitting (would be used to fill it from an air hose) on the other. This makes it useless as a reserve tank which (according to the listing ) is supposed to be one of its uses. Returning it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Questionalble.. Received the tank yesterday. Filled it with air and today was still holding pressure. Filled one hand truck tire this morning and the tire chuck failed. Called manufacturer and got a voice mail box. I'm hoping I get a call back and a new hose sent out as the chuck is permanent to the 4' hose. Also, awkward placement of gauge, and attachment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works as expected When you don't want to roll out a long air hose or transport an air compressor this works great. I've considered others but I'm glad I got this one.

can I use this tank to fill air into my pcp air rifle?

Asked by: tony
No! PCP air rifle use very high pressure in the range of 2,000psi to 3,000psi. This tank maxes out well before 150psi. You need a special scuba tank air compressor to to fill your gun or get a scuba tank and have a scuba shop fill it.

How many flat car tires will 5 gal air tank refill?

Asked by: ted
As CAT said, there is no good answer for this, as it's very much dependent on the size of the tire, the pressure of the tire versus pressure of the tank, etc. A ballpark answer would be "not many". An air tank isn't the most appropriate for what you may be wanting. Keep in mind that, at best, your tire can only be inflated to equilibrium pressure with the tank. A better option would be a pressurized CO2-based system because the energy density is so much higher.

Can this be used in line between my compressor and my hose reel for extra air capacity?

Asked by: BRB
Thank you for the interest in the California Air Tools 5510SE Ultra Quiet Air Compressor. The California Air Tools air compressors have Female Industrial/Universal 1/4" Quick Connectors. To attach your air hose to the air compressor you will need a Male Industrial/Universal 1/4" Quick Connector.

What is the CFM @ 40 PSI and CFM @ 90 PSI?

Asked by: kat
Thank you for the interest in the California Air Tools Portable Air Tanks. This is an air tank not an air compressor. This is a storage tank and does not produce air.
