Some excellent replies, thanks guys, very useful

I'm very tempted to convert to an electrical compressor but the convenience of my current set-up is still very good, and I worry about the moisture from conventional compressors which is the main cause for tyre pressures balooning on warm days, so then you need a decent moisture trap system and its just more complexity, but for sure people use em and they work!

I currently use a 10 Litre moisture-free air bottle with 200bar insdie, yes 200bar, costs Ł50 to buy outright from the climate centre, and Ł40 to re-charge, so no rental fees, weight is about 20Kg so quite mobile.....you just open the valve and it will put any tyre on a rim with no need to start a generator.....but if I can slip a drink to my local fire-station to fill it up with moisture free air then thats worth a shot!!

I did check out the cost of a diving bottle, but they are something like Ł300
