Choose the correct statement. CNG is compressed and stored at low pressures. The volume of space required for LNG storage tanks is almost twice that required for CNG tanks for delivering the equivalent mileage range. Because CNG is a gas, not a liquid, it does not matter whether the container is standing up or lying down. CNG cylinders come in two types (heavy and light).
