Are there any issues with using the cig lighter to power a 12V tire inflator? Some of the reviews of inflators mention blowing fuses, but these appear to refer to newer cars. Should the car engine be running when using the inflator? Anyone with any advice about using or not using this?

I use a small SCUBA pony bottle for a compressed air source with the first stage of an old SCUBA regulator. The first stage reduces the pressure to a usable 120 PSI. The only drawback is, you must be SCUBA certified to have the tank re-filled and it must be visually inspected and pressure tested on a regular basis.
