So - beware of explosive volatiles under high pressure...
The only time I have been able to find examples of this happening is when people try to put CNG in propane tanks.

You can have low pressure CNG only problem is the big tank provides about 1GGE. I had a post over on dieselplace about using low pressure (around 300 or 350psi) natural gas absorbed in active carbon and using an R22 compressor to fill with.

Looks like dieselplace is not working for the moment, I will post a link later.
