    Otherwise it will eventually rust through...
    That's why many aftermarket sources of compressed gasses are CO2.
    I personally like a 50 cf scuba bottle, since I can press it into service in another hobby...scuba air has VERY little moisture in it.
    But I will say, carrying around a miniature , pressurized to 3000 psi in the back of your ride, is NOT an option that everyone should entertain.
    Don't tailgate the dub, it's comin' your way...
    I am with LDUB, I got a 10lb CO2 rig with hose and chuck for less than 200, it will fit behind the seat on the floor, and it can still reach all 4 tires. It can air up about 40 35" tires from empty to full on one tank and run some small air tools. Way better than air, and CO2 does have a lot less moisture which means less corrosion on your wheels...
