compressed gas
Cylinder-stored fuel source
Compressed gas is any gas stored under pressure significantly higher than atmospheric pressure, typically in cylinders or tanks.
The compression allows large volumes of gas to occupy small containers: The welder's cart held tanks of compressed gas.
Common examples include oxygen for medical use, propane for grills, and nitrogen for industrial applications.
Gases may be compressed to liquid form or remain gaseous depending on their properties and the pressure applied.
