SCUBA tanks for filling RV tires?
I have a vague memory of some folks getting a SCUBA air tank pumped up to very high pressures, then carrying the tank (with a pressure regulator) to quickly and accurately fill RV tires. Do any of ...

In addition, to use a SCUBA tank you'll need some type of VERY reliable pressure regulator which limits the fill pressure to about 150 psi. The standard SCUBA regulator won't work because it's based on the ambient pressure plus what is needed to compensate for breathing at any given depth.
Filling an RV tire with a SCUBA tank containing +3000 psi dry air (unregulated) would potentially over pressurize the tire very quickly. BOOM, and you are standing right there. (well, . . . at least for a few seconds)
Now here's a good question. At what pressure will a 19.5" Goodyear G670 RV tire explode? Who wants to find out?
