Either way, the gaseous state and the liquid state would need to take up the same amount of volume in order to maintain pressure, right? If the fluid converts to gas and tries to take up more space, pressure will rise just from that.

And what about added weight?
If only looking at a small volume of liquid probably not a factor but anything in any quantity is adding some weight.
We had several military vehicles that had glycol filled tires to provide traction and balance and those puppies were heavy!
