To the best of my knowledge, which admittedly is pretty slim on the subject, I don't think you are going to find an add-on tanks specifically for a compressor. I think you are going to have to adapt a tank regardless of what you do. Before you take it back try to determine what adapters you will need and see if there is an easy way to accomplish it.

Greetings!
I have a Paasche VL airbrush and a D500 compressor with a regulator. I just bought a 10 gallon air tank from Sears (much to my chagrin--I would much rather have bought a much smaller tank meant for small compressors, but couldn't find one), and upon getting it home, discovered that it had a Schrader intake valve (the type of valve on car tire valve stems), and an auto tire type filler hose as on output, both securely attached and quite unremovable. Can I use this thing with my compressor? What do I need, specifically, to adapt it for my small airbrush hose and fittings? Or should I just take the darn thing back to Sears, and keep searching for a small tank meant for this sort of thing?

Thanks!
