A conformable fuel gas storage tank includes a housing that has exterior walls surrounding an interior. First and second base walls are spaced apart in a direction along a normal axis, side walls extend between the base walls and are spaced apart in a direction along a lateral axis, and end walls extend between the base walls and the side walls and are spaced apart in a direction along a longitudinal axis. Interior walls divide the interior and extend in a direction between the base walls and the end walls, and are spaced apart in a direction along the lateral axis. The interior walls establish elongate, laterally spaced, through channels extending longitudinally between the end walls. A gas storage material is located within the channels, and a gas permeable flow guide ex tends along at least one of the channels and through the gas storage material.
