If using a portable compressor, be sure to have the air intake many feet, and upwind away from the exhaust, and monitor CO with a detector periodically near the intake, as well as in the tank after it is filled.
CO can enter the system via the air intake but is also produced internally when an overheated compressor burns its own oil.
