Nope To liquefy methane you need to take below -200K Degrees. Its called LNG. Methane is Natural Gas. You need to compress it to around 3000Psi To get effective storage in a car/truck/bus. Depended on driving distance.

Propane is stored a liquid and I assume methane is as well. Can the propane tanks withstand the pressure required to liquefy methane? Propane contains more energy than methane, will you realize a net savings? In any event I would guess you would have to adjust the fuel/air metering.
