Claim 13:
14. A fuel storage system according to claim 12, wherein the controller is configured to:
determine whether the flammability of the fuel tank will be greater than the predefined flammability threshold at the given time if the pressure in the ullage space is equal to the pressure of the external environment at the given time, or is less than the pressure of the external environment at the given time by a predefined amount; and
if it is determined that the flammability of the fuel tank will be greater than the predefined flammability threshold, determine a value for the target fuel temperature such that the flammability of the tank will be below the predefined flammability threshold when the fuel is at the target fuel temperature and the pressure in the ullage space is equal to the pressure of the external environment at the given time, or is less than the pressure of the external environment at the given time by the predefined amount.
