Bill Figueroa, 55, a transportation mechanic for Santa Monica Big Blue Bus, fills up a bus with 'natural gas.' The bus can hold about 210 gallons and can travel up to 300 miles on a tank full. Natural gas is cooled down to a minus 260 degrees to become liquid. Special precautions must be made to avoid skin contact that can result in severe burns.
