I just obtained a carbon fiber 4500 psi air tank to feed my Urban. My question is if the tank is filled by a known clean/ dry source is it necessary to run the bottle air through a dryer/ filter prior to filling gun? I wouldn’t think that it would hurt any thing.
Second question is when the bottle is full and stored,does temperature changes promote condensation in the bottle?
Thanks!

If the air was "dry" going into the tank, then it won't get "wet" once it is in there. You are good to go without additional filtering, and storage won't be an issue.
Here is a post I wrote a while back trying to fully explain what water vapor / condensation means in our tanks and pumping equipment:

If you're having your tank filled commercially, the air should be really dry, and won't cause any condensation in the tank. Adding filters to the line between the tank and the gun, won't dry it any more, and will waste a lot of air.

Thanks!
That's kinda what I was thinking but wanted to make sure.
Doug great point on wasting air. I didn't think about that.
