[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 992753, member: 22283"] I'm not sure if I buy the check valve thing. In one direction of flow, the check valve will require a stated amount of PSI to open the ball and allow flow through the oriface. But in the opposite direction, a check valve will completely restrict the flow. And air flow is dependent on the pathway it encounters. The smallest oriface will provide the greatest amount of resistance in the line, and no greater flow can be obtained past what that oriface will allow. In theory, the flow control valve serves as the restriction point of the line. It should be completely determining the velocity of the air flow by restricting the airflow in a controlled fashion. If there is a restrictive oriface in front of the flow control valve, the valve can only control the air to a point that the small oriface allows. In other words, all of the orifaces that the air sees needs to be larger (or allow more flow) than the flow control valve will allow at it's least restrictive position (all the way open). This situation will give complete control of the velocity to the flow control valve...and inversely, a small oriface at the bleed opening could restrict the flow enough to make the flow control valve moot, which means the control of the flow is restricted by the smallest opening (bleed hole..or more specifically the oriface in the fitting used at the bleed hole). IMspodishO...I think that the optimum situation for these tanks would be to have all the openings large enough to allow the flow control valve to do it's intended job and completley control the flow of air. And the returning air back to the forks should not be restricted at all. It should be a clear free flow back to the forks, and only the air headed to the tanks should be restricted in a controlled fashion. [/QUOTE]
