gas bottle

Portable fuel cylinder

A gas bottle is a portable metal cylinder containing compressed or liquefied gas—propane for grills, oxygen for welding, helium for balloons.

The term is more common in British and Australian English; Americans typically say gas tank or propane tank.

We need to exchange the gas bottle before the barbecue.
