Cilian O'Tuama
: great names, but fix-a-flat is a brandname and tirefit a company name (might be too restrictive)

tyre inflation cylinder
"Bottle" doesn't really fit here, although we do sometimes talk about "bottled gas" etc. The use of "bottle" for a gas cylinder appears to be obsolete except for a few fixed expressions.

Bottle, bootle, what's the difference? I am not saying "bottle" is wrong; it's just that it seems a bit dated to me.
