Tiger in his tank?

So was there a purpose for the "gas tank" on bicycles like this, or were they just supposed to make it look more like a motorcycle? Did they double as a canteen for long rides? My sister's bike has a "tank" of sorts, only the top/front end of it has 2 small lights in it. It's hard to tell from the lighting, but I guess the one above might be wider at the front than it is in the back, so it could hold lights.
