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.
Thanks for ideas.

Video of can explosion:

It does explode - because in a can we got a mixture of air and gas. Same would be if we fill trunk with gas in a car.

But same trunk fitted with flexible bag filled with gas is safe. Because it does not mix with air. We take gas from bag, bag collapse. Unless we make two holes and supply air to the bag.

Trailer behind car is good idea, but we could get same result with bigger boat tail as stadet in first topic post. It is outside of car too, and it is mean to be aerodynamic. But it is small.
