Steve It was supposed to be the fuel of the future for boats. Lighter than air, called "safe gas", came in a neat scuba type bottle. The problem came with suppliers. It was not available everywhere, especially in Mexico. You had to exchange cylinders usually at Marina fuel docks. A great advantage is the cylinders could be stored below, behind the settee back, horizontal on a bracket. No need for a air tight locker like propane would require. These days propane and alcohol have taken over as the most popular stove fuels. Fair winds Bob Steve R. wrote:
Bob mentioned converting the '80s era N-27 from CNG.
A friend of mine has a Hunter from the same time frame. He can not find CNG. This boat is on the Chesapeake. (He is partners with his corporate jet type brother-in-law who rarely sails - what a deal!)
I thought CNG was THE FUEL OF THE FUTURE. What happened?
