Someone may know offhand but if you could post a good picture of the valve it would probably help others help you.

I find it easier to use my phone for pictures, email it to myself as a small file, load it to my pictures on laptop from email and then browse to my picture files to load to GTA.

See if there is a "Paint Ball" shop / park near you, they can fill it.
 You are looking for a place than can connect to a 1/8" Male Foster fitting.

The fill port on that Benjamin air tank is a 1/8'' male quick connect (as Hoosier noted). A fireman's air tank has a female CGA-347. You could convert that 1/8'' male foster to female CGA-347.

Here is a female CGA-347 X 1/4'' MNPT adapter:

You could probably find some better prices if you dug around.
Put some thread sealant on the threads, connect the 3 fittings together snugly, and the fire station should be able to fill it up for you.

Can this hose be connected to a scuba tank to fill my gun. If so what fittings would I need ?
Title: Re: Benjamin tank ?
Post by: tracker1955 on December 26, 2018, 10:02:28 AM
I don't think there is any way to use it on a scuba K valve as it has no opening to fit over the valve and be tightened down. I think this is just made to work with Ninga style tanks.

You could fill it with a hand pump over multiple short sessions.

So you want to charge your Benjiman bottle using a SCUBA tank?

Or take the hose off your fill station and used it on a SCUBA tank?

The adapter you have for the little tank wouldn't work on a SCUBA tank.

Is your tank the same as these?
If so then it is carbon fiber.

The right fitting can be bought from Joe at airtanksforsale.com.
