Lanse I can only tell you from my own experience. I did darn near the same thing and it worked out great. Back 15 years ago we had a barn full of milk cows and once a year we were required to have the barn whitewashed. This meant about 2 days before the whitewash guy showed up we would take air nozels and blow as much dust and chaff and what ever else out of the barn so it could be painted. I had a tank from an 80 gallon water heater that I mounted to an old 2 wheel trailer and had picked up a V4 freon compressor which got plumbed to the tank. I then mounted a PTO shaft to the pump and used a tractor setting outside the barn running the pump, to be able to clean the barn. It pumped enough air to be able to run 2 hoses almost nonstop. I plumbed a pop off valve from a water heater into the tank and used this for when we stopped using the hoses. The tank would build up pressure and about 125 or 150 PSI, the popoff would blow and the tank would not over pressurize. I used this setup for at least 3 years before the whitewash appointment and it still sets in the pasture fence row up home. By all means be careful but yes the idea is very feasible.
