There is an error in the picture. The boiling point of natural gas is -162°C, at -60°C there will be no liquid. Juliusmosen (talk) 15:33, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I second the above error. LNG is usually stored near -165°C. At -60°C, the natural gas would have completely vaporized. ScottKolo (talk) 20:43, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could it just be that they store the methane at a pressure higher than 1 atmosphere? I don't have a phase diagram so I don't know how much pressure that would take, but it's just a thought for someone else if they want to do a bit more research. Spacew00t (talk) 03:21, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
