Probably they do, but they may well not call it that - so why we should
expect specific terminology - or in this case, more of a colloquialism, from
one country to be used and understood in another is beyond me? Which was my
point. If you drive your car into a Garage in Britain or Ireland (gas
station) and asked for it to be filled up with gas, would you be surprised
when they filled you tank with propane...? When in Rome.
