I've been using my converted Freon tank for about 20 years.  It doesn't hold 
much, but it's handy to fill up tires that are out of reach of my air hoses.  
Fill the tank, carry it to the car, and fill the tire.  Sometimes I have to go 
back to the garage to refill the tank for the next tire, but it's simpler than 
unrolling extra hoses.
 
I made my "adapter" out of some spare parts, but I'd buy one of the pre-made 
kits if I was going to do it again (couldn't find one back 20 years ago).  But 
I'd probably just go to Wal-Mart and buy one of the bigger "ready made" tanks 
rather than use a Freon tank...

        Those ol' 30 pound freon cylinders which the air conditioner guy once 
discarded
        are good . .they hold close to a cubic foot and you can still buy air 
tank kits
        with the proper fittings for a few bucks.
