Default On board air

I'm thinking of getting one of Snake Racings little 4.5ltr air tanks for under the TJ. Has any one got one of these or something better installed?
Aim is to have a resevoir for the Blue Tongue that isn't too large to fit neatly under the floor on the passenger side (about level with the muffler).

Not under the bonnet, under the left rear passenger footwell in the same position as the muffler is on the drivers side .
The Blue Tongue will be on the spare tray just in front of the firewall on the drivers side.

Talk to Gordo about his Kilby (I think?) On-Board air, converted Volvo air con compressor from memmory. I don't think there is a need for a tank.
I actually converted an old fire extinguiser to a air tank, was cheaper (extinguisher was free and only paid for fittings) and complies with the Pressure vessel standards. Never bothered to install it though.

I read an an article in 4WD Monthly (I think), where some dude in a FJ40 used his roll bar as an airtank! Had connections on either side of the vehicle for hose/tools etc.
