A container for exchanging fluids using pressurized air has a cylindrical tank with caps and seals at the tank's opposite ends. Grooves in the caps hold the seals, and the caps move between unsealed and sealed arrangements using a tie rod engaging threaded bores in the caps. When sealed, the seals are radially compressed between the flange and the tank's interior sidewall. The tie rod connects to threaded bores at the caps' centers. Rotating the caps relative to the tank axially moves the caps between the sealed and unsealed arrangements. The top cap has a fill port with a threaded plug. A process tube connects to either the outlet port for the fluid when the top cap has the outlet or the inlet port for the pressurized air when the bottom cap has the inlet. A float valve connects to the process tube's end for fluid flowing through the outlet.
