I was there yesterday, as I recall you get 80 seconds with the screen wash & 5 mins with the airline for your £1

Just need to take a large container to take the air home with you now, and use that on the cars at home.
Try this:-

A few weks ago I bought 2x 2.5 litres of concentrated screen wash, from ASDA, each was a £1
The 5 litre container was more expensive than the 2 x 2.5 litres.

Here is one I made earlier
The hardest bit is unscrewing the gas valve, 31mm open ended spanner & about 1 metre of pipe to get leverage.
The thread is standard 3/4" BSP
I got the bottle free

last pic
The cable ties are holding a bit of hose pipe in place, I haf to cut the handle holes bigger, higher to get to the air coulpings, this left sharp corners even after filing, it weeighs a bit so just for comfort.
I had to make a special up to charge thr tank, a 1/2" lever valve with a male coupling each side.
Turn valve off, plug into tank then plug airline into adaptor, then turn on valve.
This comes in handy if you need lots of air a long way from compressor, haul the airline out, plug it into the tank & plug the tool into the other coupling.
Total cost less than a tenner

easily if you charge it to 100 psi plus, but not for too long, should be able to fire 100 to 200 nails, Rick

I have a 46kg propane cylinder in the workshop for compressed air. Somewhere around 300l. Very handy for maintaining pressure when spraying when the compressor cant quite keep up, or semi-portable use for blowing up tyres etc. Holds alot more than you would think.
