Portuguese term or phrase: casinha do gás
Hi everyone! I'm translating a series of emails about a problem on a building site. I can see from google images what 'casinha do gás' or 'de gás' is but can't think of the name in English. Also translating to US English so would like the term used there. Thanks for your help!

Verifiquie o processo que estava em seu poder e informei ao fiscal (um sr. Idoso) que não havia e não há mais obra, portanto dispensava renovação do alvará ; o que ele relutou argumentando sobre a **casinha do gás** que estava sendo demolida; foi irredutível. Perguntei qual seria o caminha para o impasse e ele se dispôs a renovar a licença por R$ XXXX (pagamento antecipado) e arquivar o processo.

"Casinha do gás" is usually a small concrete house or a cabinet for keeping the gas cylinders used in the households.
