A high pressure Scuba compressor can run from $3K and up. If you wanted you could use a low pressure tank and fill with a low pressure. To fill tires of course and not to breathe. This would work well, although you could not fill dozens of tires like you could with a Scuba tank at 3000+ psi. Some tanks go to 5000 psi. If you put regular compressed air in a scuba tank you have contaminated the tank. It would have to be cleaned before it could be used for breathing. Their are adapters for filling tires from scuba tanks. I've had mine since 1970.
