For Gods sake NO!!!!! Don't test Darwin's thiery.... Go to a local diesel truck wrecker and buy a tank for $25.00 with the clamps. You can even get a one-way check valve for between the compressor and the tank. If you want the cool look, then use a scuba tank. You could find a used one that is not for diving by calling a dive shop or ebay.
Here is a pair for 75 local to me. I could pick them up for you and shio to you.
