At room temperature it appears as a gas, but can be compressed into a clear liquid, increasing its storage and transportation efficiency. Both gases in the cylinder are under pressure and as I specified: "They can be made liquid under modest pressures: butane under a pressure of 1.5 bar at 20°C. propane under a pressure of 8 bar at 20°C "
