    A gasholder is a huge round metal tank, often as tall as a building, that stores gas before carry it to homes and factories. In some cities you can still see the old ones: a big round frame with a tank that rises and falls as gas goes in and out. The gas inside is the kind you burn for heat and cooking — not petrol, and not the air we breathe. This is mainly a British word, and a rather specialist one; many people just say the gas tank, or, in older talk, the gasometer. You will not see this exact old shape on every street in Taiwan, but the job is the same as a very large storage tank for piped gas.
