So put it in the trunk?  Either way, 150 psi was yield limit. I believe
they said that failure was more like a seam split near the neck, not
splinters. So it might be okay for someone who wants a 50 psi system.
When you think about it, they ARE highly engineered pressure vessels.
Pretty efficient per pound and cost, I think. IIRC, they are several
layers (coextruded? comolded? something like that.)

I was thinking more for the tractor with  >200 psi.  How much pressure
do a/c compressors make?  I think I saw at least one at ~190 psi.
(Definitely not my area of expertise!)  But it may not have been using R-12/134a.
