Hello all,

I made a yoke tank equalizer for $38. Paintball Refill Adaptor Scuba Fill Station W/36"Whip Scuba Diving Valve 4500Psi | eBay
I made an offer for two paintball refill adapters rated for 4500psi and we settled on $18 each + tax with free shipping. The total was $38.52.

Attached are the pictures before and after.

1. Remove the quick connect from the end of the first hose. It was tight because of the Locktite on the threads.
2. Remove the yoke adapter from the second hose.
3. Clean all threads, apply more Locktite, and attach the first hose to the second adapter. Do not overtighten because the adapter is aluminum.

It works fine.

The second pressure gauge and release knob are not needed but they don't hurt. The second hose and both quick connects are not used.

Good luck.
