So, yeah, what about insulating the canister?

I've been thinking about looking into a way to use some of this stuff:

Automotive Heat Sound Insulation (ebay if link no longer works down the road)

4'x10' so you should be able to do at least a couple vehicles with one roll. Not sure how to attach it to the air canister though
