Cheap and easy air tank??  Get a used out of date propane tank from your 
friendly propane refiller, (what ever size floats your boat) snag the 
propane bottle to regulator fitting from an old BBQ grill regulator (wait 
for the city clean up day for zillions oif free ones) and put your 
compresssed air fitting on the 1/4" pipe thread end and there you are.  You 
will wind up with a great aux bottle with a great valve that won't leak all 
for the price of the compressed air fitting.  If you can't find a used 
regulator with attached propane fitting, go to your friendly propane 
refiller guy, Lowes, Home Depot, Sportsmen's warehouse etc and get a 
standard P.O.L to 1/4" MPT outlet for $2.50 to $5.00.  The propane fittings 
are cheaper from the friendly propane guy cuz they ain't in packages.
