Explanation:
Don't we usually talk about gas being in 'cylinders'?

'compressed air tanks' gets slightly more Google hits than 'compressed air cylinders', but both of them considerably more than 'compressed air bottles'.

In the translation I have just been doing on the same subject, they were indeed referred to as 'reservoirs'.
