Get rid of the Freon bottle.  That's what I used for years, then one
weekend Sears had a nice 10 gallon red tank on sale for around $20.  It
was worth it.  It holds more air, is easy to use, and even has a safety
pop off valve.  Much better than my old Freon bottle.

As for my air compressor tank, mine's not that old, but it's about 30
years old...
