I sorta left that air-compressor tank issue a little bit short of explanation. A tank is used to store up compressed air as a reservior. As Hummie2 explained, our compressors feed right into the air-system directly: sorta a feed-as-it-needs deal.
For very little money, you could purchase a tank and simply pump it up with air from the compressor. It may take a few minutes, but could conceivably store enough air to mess with a few small air-tools or quickly inflate items. These tanks are available inexpensively from Harbor Freight Tools. They are usually the size of propane tanks. Air rachets take LOTS of air at a fast rate: big compressor required...well beyond our small unit.
Here is one other clever thing: The same company actually sells a re-usable aerosol can: you add your ingredients, close the thing up, attach the air hose and pump it up with pressure. Then you attach a variety of spray tips...and your ready to spray whatever you want: cleaning fluid, lubricant, paint, perfume...any liquids! Cost about $10 and can be quite handy at times.
