Compressed Air Storage Reservoirs

[95ZR1#418]

Hi all-

The last source for compressed air (to fill tires)
is now gone from my town. The nearest source of air is
now ~30 miles from me.

Whats available as far as some type of reservoir
that I could fill and save to inflate tires & would
they hold enough pressure (eg. by filling at a service
station) to inflate tires under the full weight of the
car? If this would do I don't see a need to buy a
compressor, but when the air is gone you sure notice
what a pain it is not to have it.

I figure this must be a problem long solved by those
who frequent the strip/track?

Any specific brands or stores to search?

TIA

Before I got a compressor for the garage, I used, and still use, one of these:

The Craftsman 10 gal. Horizontal Air Tank, available for $36.99 from Sears.

if I were you I would go out and get a compressor. It will probably be a pain hauling that tank back and forth if you run it down especially with three vettes, you would probably have to get more then one depending on how big it is, and plus you can use a compressor for more then just filling tires, air tools .

Thanks Ken & vett87. The Craftsman you showed looks perfect & wouldn't you know there out of stock. I really don't think I would need a compressor as long as I can find someplace to fill it.

Go for the compressor. I could not work without one. The arthritis in my hands gives me about an hour of wrenching with hand tools before I am running for the Prednisonead … with a set of Snap-On and Craftsman Air tools I can wrench all day and deal a deck of cards at night.

I agree with Spainishvetts........The Compressor is the way to go....You will like it once you get one......great tool......

If all you want to do is fill tires, and you don't want to spend the cash on large compressor, just go to your local auto parts store and pick up a small 12V compressor that plugs into your cigarette lighter, designed specifically for inflating tires. I think the one I bought was around $30.
