Wrong.
I know several guys with NG vans that fill from home.
House pressure is too low so they use compressors.
Not expensive either.
This also goes to the DOT regulations. It is illegal and very dangerous to connect to a vehicle any flamable substance in a non-DOT approved container.
This is why motorhomes must use DOT tanks, not the standard RV tanks. Same goes for NG/LPG carbed vehicles.
As noted above, atmospheric gas is more flamable. When taking hazmat training we learned the explosive potential of an empty tank vs a full one. Very cool videos, but I wouldn't want to be sitting near it !
As a logical note, you could fit quite a few cubes of NG/methane in the trunk of most cars. About like adding a larger batt pack.
