Air Compressor Quick Question

I recently appropriated an older but still functional 120VAC 5gal air compressor for the garage etc. Only problem is 5 gallons isn't really enough capacity - runs out of pressure pretty quickly and is almost constantly running. Can't keep up when I'm using the air hose for cleaning dust/leaves out of the engine bay and such.

Can I get one of those 11 gal "portable" carry tanks and re-plumb it (very comfortable doing that) to use as a reserve tank? Big safety issues, anything I should worry about?

Thanks

Ned
