How to use the 2011 storage tank

We can't figure out how to use this year's pneumatic storage tank. Because it only has one hole in it, does it need to have some sort of backflow regulator on it, or can we just tee it into the system?

Thanks!!

Is there not a problem with backflow from the tank?

Nope air doesn't care, just consider it as stored potential energy.

Since its a closed system, it doesn't matter where the air goes. The pressure fills the space avialable, but doesn't flow in any given direction (well it does, but for this purpose it's just filling the space).
