Small Air Tank

Where is the best place to find a small air tank (1 or 2 gal.)? I was planning on hooking it up for my air horns so I can run more pressure but still have my stock horns. Wal Mart has a 7 Gal. Tank for $20, but I want something small that I can put behind my seat.

I'd say a hardware store or try a welding supply shop

The air horn manufacturers all make small compressor and tank systems.

I have the compressor that came with it but I want a tank for on board air, but I don't want to drill into my box so it has to fit behind my seat. That's why I was hoping for like 2 or 3 gal. tank but the smallest I can find is 5.

Go to your local firehouse and see if the have any decommissioned scott packs. They usually just toss them.
