I would rather have a good compressor. Co2 tanks are nice but if the safety cap blows it is not a good experience inside your VX...I know first hand! The windows frost over and the oxygen is gone in an instant! If your driving down the freeway you can imagine. You can also hook your compressor into a small storage tank.
Sounds like you had a faulty relief valve
You can't run air tools off of a compressor Also, nothing can really break on a tank. You have tank, and a valve. Thats about it. Valves are <10 bucks, my shop replaced mine for free. You can also do tank swaps, actually cheaper than filling your own. Turns out, my shop doesnt have tanks with indy4x stickers on them, so no go for me
