I've used a very light aluminum air freshener can called OZUIM. It's about 7-8
inches in length and a little over an inch in diameter. My guess is it is
about 3 to 4 times the internal volume of the blue tanks.
By removing the spray nozzle and using a drill to "open-up" the valve, the
small tube is just the right size for lego rubber tubing. Epoxy attachment of
a couple of 2x4s on the sides and a 2x2 for the bottom make a great way to
mount it onto models. Be carefull to let the excess freshener drain out of the
can before use. I don't know what it would do to the pneumatics. :)
