I have the priviledge of working paddock/pit security during NASCAR and IRL
races at Nazareth Speedway. Most of the teams don't bring a compressor to
pit lane. They have several large tanks ganged together with a regulator.
Maybe this would be cheaper than a generator or converting your compressor to
gas.
I don't know what the cost of buying half a dozen large tanks would be.
Maybe you can get them used at a welding supply store.
