    Glad you can laugh about it, I've had some "fun" with compressed air during my paintballing years. Old manager in the shop was hooking up a bauer compressor and the regulator failed and sent the full 4.5k to a plastic drying stage that should only see under 100. He's lucky he wears glasses, had some shrapnel to his face, arm was tore up, my ears were ringing, he had trouble hearing for a few days. Pretty scary what some pressure can do.

    If I was to do this type of mod the canister would look like a pipe bomb, all metal pipe with thread on ends with holes drilled into it for the valve stems. That being said my air lines in the garage run at 150psi in pvc and have for the last 20 years.

    If mine was x rayed, it would look like that.
    All sorts of wires laying around from replacing the batteries.

    I made mine about 8 or 10 years ago. This is the picture from when I made it. Stays under the backseat. Wrap the sensors with bubble wrap before you glue it together so you won’t hear them rattling around.

    Also want to add, I made this because I had two sets of rims and tires. They were in my winter tires and in the summer I had trouble getting my inspection sticker because of the light on.
