ok fellas. i have a 5lb co2 set up but i came across a small 2 gallon air compressor that i think i can make work in the back of my jeep. it has a leak somewhere that i have yet to find. if i can find the leak which may be coming around the piston, i may just take that comp off and buy a 12v one. my questions are would you guys try to find the leak and fix it and get an inverter and just hook that up or would you guys take the unit that i have and get a 12v comp and built a 12v system???? looking for pros and cons. i bougt an 750 continuois(sp) watt inverter for a steal. it has a peak of 1500 and is brand new in pack. made by husky. i am in no rush so i am leaving all options open and my jeep will be a work in progress. and my current set up of co2 is working fine. the compressor is working right now its in my shop. it will build only to about 50psi and continues to run. when you cut it off you cant hear a leak. so thats why i am leaning torwards the air coming around the piston. ideas for some options

Use the tank and convert your air conditioning pump for oba.

dont even bother with a 2 gal tank. I have a 3 gal tank and at 125 PSI can barely fill a 33" tire from trail pressure to 30 PSI
