It's a challenge to fill this tank from a Yong Heng, would be much simpler if it had a male foster with a check valve -
EDIT: no check valve needed, my bad!!

It it possible to re-configure this tank with a male foster?

Do you mean like this?
This adapter will screw onto the valve where your fill whip connects.
This is the one I have, but I'm sure they are probably available from other vendors as well. I would think the threads are universal.

The item above is my goto for Din300 to QD.
Be carful where you put a check valve in the fill chain so that you always have the ability to bleed it off.

I prefer having the check valve, but it is removable...
Plus you don't have to unscrew anything, just connect it to your fill whip

Yeah - it can be helpful especially if your compressor pops a burst disk so your tank doesn't empty. I just got caught one time where I had one leg in the fill chain with no chance to bleed easily and it was a PITA to get the air out of that section safely.

I have only seen male fosters that have check valves work in one direction. I must be missing something other than some marbles. What is the check valve supposed to do in the situation you envision?

It does work in only one direction, but you could remove the check valve if you feel it serves no purpose. I never said the check valve is necessary so I am not sure where you're going with this..

Agreed, there are a few good use cases for the check valve being present. I like to fill my tank line with tank pressure, then let the compressor slowly over come the line @ the check valve to reduce the load and pulsation of pressure by doing it any other way.

I myself have the same fitting on my jb bottle. I use it to fill my guns as well as fill the tank. It is good for both.

Yes...
But if I wanted to.... I can configure a fill whip with a Fosters female coupler on both ends........

The check valve would only be for filling the tank as a backup to keep from emptying the tank completely in the event of a failure between the check valve and the gun.
You might be able to simply replace the whip connector at the valve with a matching thread male Quick Connector using a Dowty washer or a teflon washer depending on what is inside that fitting once the whip is removed. That is what I did with my fill station. There is nothing on it but the valve, gauge and the male QC with a rubber dust cover. Much easier to transport with no hose on it, and you can easily insert a one way valve as desired between the whip and the fill station.

You sound like you probably want something removable. Like a quick disconnect and a male foster.

Just be aware which direction the one way valve goes. Put it on, put hoses on, open valve and start compressor.
