In order to keep propane a liquid at room temperature (70° F or 21° C), it has to be held in a tank at a pressure of about 850 kPa. ... Household metal tanks cannot withstand this pressure. In short, natural gas is not stored in household tanks because the symmetry of its molecule makes it hard to liquify.
