A method for supplying a vaporized gas, including: (a) providing a system having: (i) a storage tank for storing liquefied gas; (ii) a heat exchanger external to the tank, disposed in a heat-exchange relationship with a wall of the tank; (iii) a device for delivering a heat-exchange liquid from a reservoir to the heat exchanger, and (iv) a delivery line for directly transferring the vaporized gas from the heat exchanger to the consumer; (b) supplying the vaporized gas directly to the consumer, according to consumer demand; (c) upon vaporization of a portion of the liquefied gas within the storage tank, and subsequent cooling of the liquefied gas within the storage tank, transferring heat from the heat-exchange liquid to the tank via the heat exchanger, so as to increase the tank pressure.
