Default Source of compresed air

I heard some people simply use a spare car tire. I asked at Summit tools
(who carry all kinds of air stuff) if it is feasible to attach a hose and an
air gun to a tire, they did not think so. I really do not want/need a
full-sized compressor. A compresed air bottle seems a bit of an overkill.

Any suggestions?

An oxygen regulator with a Nitrogen stem, a hose and gun from Home
Depot and a tank of dry water pumped nitrogen. Mount the tank
carefully so it will not fall over. Maybe $50.00 total. The nitrogen
is usually a rental item. Perhaps 20 to change it once a year.

So far..Bob has come up with the best idea. Though CO2 in the 25lb
bottle (soda fountain sized) may be a better deal. Its liquid in the
bottle, so it lasts a **** load of time, and a refill is $12.

A simple regulator. Wont ice up unless you lay on the air gun for a
minute or so.
