I guess it dependson how you store it?

Yes, funny, but methane falls apart if exposed to UV light. Then again, glass blocks most UV...

methane does not have a smell. most hydrocarbons don't. that's why they put smelly stuff (mostly thiols, which are very smelly sulphur compounds) into butane, gasoline, etc.

What? This isn't even remotely true. Standard glass blocks half of UV at best (UVB), and it's the less harmful half.
