are we using this tank for something in particular, like in the bed of a
truck for airbags, or what?

Yeah, I have only seen the conversion kits for gas grill style propane
tanks, and never for a freon tank. I actually have a good article from a 4WD
magazine on how they did a 'homebrew' conversion. They didnt buy a 'kit' in
a sense, but still converted a propane tank over to hold air. Let me know if
you want me to find the article, as I could summarize the conversion they
did, and list all parts needed and prices.
