Lol.....actually, (embarrassingly) I only brought up propane tanks, because I was told by another contractor that the pressure points were the same and never even thought to see if this is true. The main reason for the thought of the propane tank, was solely due to the dimension of the 100 pound canisters, which could be welded to the bottom (underneath) the box of my box truck, which would allow me to take my big compressor out from the inside, which would create more room. Thanks for the input.

Why is that your initial thought?

Hello all, just wondering if anyone has ever converted propane tanks into a compressed air tank? I'm basically wanting to run air from a small compressor into two large tanks (100 pound propane) as air storage to run my crews guns on the job site. My thinking is, instead of running my 80 gallon compressor ( that I leave in the truck) off a 220 cord from the house, I would just run a small 4 gallon compressor plugged in directly to an outlet and air up storage tanks in the truck that are permanently mounted and run one main air line back from the truck into a central area of the job site to run all air tools. I'm asking about propane tanks as air storage because the 100 pound size is dimensionally good for my box truck and would provide a sufficient amount of air storage. Is this a good option or should I go with compressor tanks instead? Thanks much for any input.
