And you can make cool "psssh" air pressure noises as you go around an off-road site

Sounds like you need a turbo and a dump valve Martin!
That would be mighty fine of you

You can also use as a tank an old fire extinguiser.

Thought I would update for anyone interested.
I got a smaller aluminium tank to the one the kind Reaper gave me (thanks bud, you want it back?)
It's off a VW Touareg, it's normal job is to supply air to the air suspension.
Thank tank is,
light,
4.8l in capacity
16.5 bar max pressure (10bar = 145psi)
has bsp fittings
cheap!
ARB along with many other company's (Martin has VIAIR) produce a light weight tank.
The tank cost me £35 + postage.
My mate has made me up a hydraulic pipe to link my ARB compressor and hopefully it will be all installed this weekend. What am I going to do with a compressor....... well probably nothing! lol. Pump me tires up now and then perhaps :laugh:
