I would be concerned about introducing fuel vapors into my tire, at the
correct ratio for combustion, no less. Call me paranoid, I guess.

Re: CO2 Vs. Scuba tank?
Everywhere I fill my CO2 they say it is best not to store it inside ANY
vehicle. Mine is in a rack bolted to the steel body inside. It also has a
custom made collar around the regulator to protect it. I dont use this Jeep
as a daily driver and feel that the risk I am taking is minimal. Lots of
guys with XJ's run thier tanks the same way and so far no one has had an
incident. So far so good.

They only pump fresh air. They have a piston activated by compression
but draw fresh air in the side to pump out.
