Back in the day we used to use old propane tanks for compressed air at 100-125 psi for tire reinflation after being on the beach or for extra air when running the sports car in autocrosses and hillclimbs. Did it for years. If you put a water separator on the compressor, shouldn't be a problem with internal rust for many years.
Carried a couple propane cylinders as compressed air cylinders for tire reinflation/repairs when off roading/rocking
Also carried a small propane bottle to use for 'bead setting'
Spray some propane around rim.....throw a match at it and 'whomp' ---
tire ready for inflation/bead set
