Let this get into 1 accident and buy a new one.

Given the amount of pressure in the compressed air tank, anything that put a crack in the tank will mean replacing the car, the driver, the passengers, and pretty-much anything within a block of the resulting bang

Uh-yep. Depending, of course, upon where the pressure vessel fails. If an aft-facing valve fails, the car and its occupants gould go squirting away out of control, like a punctured aerosol can. Remember the urban legend of the JATO-powered Chevy?
