A system for replenishing the supply of a particulate agricultural product in the tank of an air cart.

Then the air exits through one or more fine screens to avoid product escaping as well and is conveyed through the exhaust hoses until reaching an air diffuser. The air diffuser has a series of varying size holes or louvers at the bottom so the air can come out at a uniform low velocity which minimizes any discomfort to nearby operators.
An air cart having a pneumatic source for supplying a flow of air entrained agricultural product from a product tank to be applied by a utilization implement to an agricultural field, the air cart including an air system for supplying product to the cart tank, comprising:
