A method of coating an interior of a gas storage container, where the method includes supplying a chemical vapor precursor to the storage container, and forming a metal coating on the interior surface of the container, where the coating is formed from the chemical vapor precursor. Also, a gas storage container that includes a gas storage vessel with an interior surface that has a liner formed on the interior surface of the storage vessel. The liner may include tungsten metal with a purity of about 99%, by weight, or more. Additionally, a system for making a metal lined gas storage container that may include a chemical vapor precursor generator, and a precursor injection assembly for transporting the precursor into a gas storage vessel. The system may also include an exhaust outlet for removing gaseous deposition products from the gas storage vessel. |
