English term or phrase: pressuriser
Bonjour,

À propos d'un lance-flammes. Période Seconde Guerre mondiale. Si vous avez une précision sur le terme adéquat pour "igniter" également dans ce cas précis, je suis preneur.

"I activated the pressuriser and then the igniter sparked, sparked again, and then the hot blue flame lit true."

Merci d'avance.

le réservoir de gaz propulseur


Explanation:
"Lance-flammes fw 35 — Wikipédia
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lance-flammes_fw_35
Le flammenwerher 35 fonctionnait de la manière suivante, 2 réservoirs, l'un contenant le combustible et l'autre le gaz propulseur, le plus souvent de l'azote. Dès que l'on ouvrait la vanne, le gaz propulseur expulsait le combustible par le tube, à l’extrémité duquel il était enflammé.."

"The man-portable flamethrower consists of two elements: a backpack and the gun. The backpack element usually consists of two or three cylinders. In a two-cylinder system, one cylinder holds compressed, inert propellant gas (usually nitrogen), and the other holds flammable liquid—typically petrol with some form of fuel thickener added to it."
