I detailed making a plastic bottle tank in an previous post on Pneumatics
...The storage tank I eluded to above is made from a 1 litre plastic pop
bottle. I haven't pressurized it until the pumps bleed off excess, because
I am afraid it will blow. Take the lid, remove the lid liner, punch two
holes in the lid and awl out with scissors, cut two small (slightly smaller
than tube diameter) holes in the liner corresponding with the lid's holes,
add tubes through the lid and liner... if the holes are small enough they
are self sealing. I wouldn't recommend drilling the holes because the holes
might be too clean and not self-seal as well. "Pushing" the holes through
the lid improves sealing...
The whole post can been seen at:

I have heard of people using film canisters, and small plastic pill
bottles... I think anything will work if modified in the above way.
Good Luck
