gas bottles

Pressurized fuel tanks

Gas bottles are portable metal cylinders containing pressurized gas—propane for grills, oxygen for welding, helium for balloons.

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

We need to exchange the gas bottle before the barbecue.
