Default Reservoir Tank for Air Compressor

Hello All:

I'd like to use my 4 gallon air compressor occasionally for spraying paint
with a Wagner Conversion spray gun. Thought it would be necessary to add a
reservoir tank between the compressor and the spray gun. However, the tanks
I find readily available are called "carry tanks" and it's not clear to me
how the connections need to be made. The carry tank has a standard 1/4"
threaded output fitting, but the air intake is a threaded piece that looks
like a tire valve stem and includes the pressure control knob. Advice as to
needed fittings will be very much appreciated.
