    OK, for the cheap bastard who wants an air bottle.......Major HVAC companies
    use Freon in large tanks, about the size of a 20 lb. propane cylinder. They
    are not intended to be refilled or recycled so they are normally thrown away
    when empty.

    Places like JC Whitney have valve kits for ~$15 that convert them for
    "normal" air use. I have had one for about 15 years and it works
    fine.............but I still go to my twin cylinder compressor to seat
    tires.

    I forgot to say, you need tyre soap and lots of it for this to work with a
    tiny compressor
    Note: not washing up liquid, spit, lard, s*it, or anything else to hand,
    but proper Tyre soap.
