Have you noticed that big belt on the dryer. It goes around the pulley on the moter then around the dryer drum. Off hand I'd guees this is a 50 to 1 reduction. You would need that much reduction in your system or maybe even more. May you can make a huge pully out of plywood that is as big as a dryer drum then place that around the tank and use the belt from the dryer.
