I am about to install an AC compressor into my Double Cab - funny thing is
there is no AC - it sort of comes with the motor!  I am thinking as long as
the electric clutch isn't engaged and I plug the compressor line openings
things should be OK.  Then I get thinking to myself - I wonder how good
these are at compressing air???  The plan is to put an expired propane tank
in the 'treasure chest' that is under the bed of the Double Cab.  With this,
I would have the compressor fill it with 125PSI of air so I can do things
like air down my tires and fill them back up again with out a hand pump or
be able to use air tools to remove street tires for off-road tires.   Is it
good to compress air with an AC compressor or am I about the screw up the
compressor by doing this?


Thanks in advance!
