Building Off/Pre-Season Pneumatic system (Rookie)

Hello CD,
Since our regional is over in NY, we are a rookie team and we were going through the KOP and thought it would be great to learn how a pneumatic system is built.

We were able to find a tutorial on Team 358's site on how to build a pneumatic system and so-forth. We ordered three cylinders from www.bimba.com since they were donated.

From the how to guide on Team 358's site, it looks as if we need two storage tanks to have a working pneumatic system. Is this correct? The 2011 KOP only included one storage tank.

Also, it seems as though there are parts that don't seem to fit well like the tubing into the 1/4 NPT part (correct me if i'm wrong please.)

Any type of advice would be greatly appreciated

Than you in advance
