How about a refillable aerosol spray can? one quick search yielded this item
http://www.nextag.com/60486443p/zz2zB4z23/prices-html
It says it can pressurize up to 50 even 90 PSI.
All you got to do is find a model that you can stick the sensors in.
I just don't know if the air will leak after an extended amount of time.

How did you mount the sensors in the PVC pipe? Did you just drop them in, tape, glue them so they are secure?
Also, can't you just put all 4 sensors in one PVC pipe instead of having 4 separate pipes?
