I have a Technic Air tank and from the pictures I've seen of the 8454 it
should fit in there. But dont you need two? One for air and one for water??

While the large SuperSoaker squirtguns use small air-tanks to supplement the pressure in the water tank, the smaller ones combine the air and water in the same tank.
