Shaun,
Yes it can. Some of us are working on a development using two NPT tapped
holes into the tank outlet fittings. The best way is to make new ones,
although it can be done with difficulty in the originals. Andair make a
banjo fitting with 1/4in NPT male thread.
Maybe Paul will respond too? Paul?
