Are there any tubing connecters that can connect to tubing and be disconnected without losing any presure? Example: the tubing is connected to an air tank and one half of the connecter is on the tubing and the other half is on the pump. And they can be connected pumped up and then disconnected and there will be no presure loss. The tubing that i will be connecting it to is about five and a half millimeters from one outside edge to the other outside edge(in a straight line).

Yes they do have them. They are called quick disconnect fittings but are generally fairly expensive. A better option would be to put a check valve somewhere in the line. You could use an instant tube fitting in conjunction with a check valve and save yourself quite a bit of money.

Check Valve: 7757K11
Instant Tube Fitting: 9087K61
Before you purchase these, make sure you have the right sizes.

What I use is a an on off valve that you can easily put the tubing in and out of. All you have to do is turn it off and disconect from the tank. I got mine at Lowes.

If all you are connecting and disconnecting is a pump then you just need is a check valve of some kind.
