Abstract
A self-contained tank filling fitting having dual operation wherein the fitting may be used with a gravity fluid supply system or a pressurized fluid supply system. The fitting includes an elbow having an upper end closed by a removable cap, and a pressurized filling port located in the bend of the elbow aligns with a tank port to reduce resistance to pressurized fluid filling. An automatic differential pressure valve controlled by a float operated vent automatically closes the pressurized filling port upon the tank being filled.
