According to AOA  video Omega fills at 22cf per hr. so  66 cf  should take 3 hrs. 0 to 4.5K.   They topped of a 75 cf from 3.0K to 4.5K in 46 min..

Well, last weekend I filled a Tiger Shark (71 cu ft according to Joe) from 0 to 4500 psi with my Omega compressor.  Total compressor run time was about 3 hours and 15 minutes over the course pf the evening and the next day.  I did not fill it all at once.  I bled the line of water about every 15 minutes.  After every hour, I let everything cool for 30 min - 1 hour.  Once I got to 4500 psi, I let the tank sit overnight.  After it cooled down, it was about 4200 psi.  I topped it off.

Now for the tank in your link.  It was manufactured in 2009 and taken out of service in 2014.  Ad says:
"All bottles have been tested for functionality and passed."

I doubt this was a hydro - if it was I think it would be stated as such.  That said, I'd figure the price of a visual inspection and a hydro before anyone will fill it.

$217 shipped for 9 more years (assuming it passes inspection and hydro) seems like a good deal.  I would suggest that you get the slo flow valve and microbore fill line from Joe.  If you add the second gauge to the valve (to see the tank pressure at any time) the valve will be about $320 shipped.  Now you are close to $540.  And still need a professional inspection and Hydro so someone will fill it.  I've seen prices for this service from about $35 to $60.

Might as well get a Tiger Shark from Joe. 
Prices are approx from a quote I received.
$589      Tiger Shark
$39.00   2nd  Gauge
$39.00    Option 2A FQD x FQD & MQD x DIN300
$29.00     Ship Tiger Shark

$696   Total and a brand new 15 year tank

Or post a WTB ad here and other forums for a Tiger Shark.  Got mine fully armored for a great price.  It was 2 years old.
