There are some boat yards which trade tanks, you give the old, they give the
new - for a fee. Ours does just that.

Subject: Re: Stus-List CNG for stove
Converting your stove from CNG to propane is simply a matter of changing the
orfices in the burners. My new Frigidaire gas stove (in the home) actually came
with a set of each. The CNG jets were factory installed and the LPG in a
package attached to the installation instructions. The delivery people
installed the LPG jets when they installed the stove. Talk to an appliance
vendor.
I don't think I've ever heard of a CNG stove in an RV, so the lack of
information is not surprising.
Your tank and regulator should have manufacturer labels on them. See if the
manufacturer can identify the local installer for you.
The CNG system is another matter. CNG is methane gas and lighter than air so
no need for a vented locker, sensors, etc. The tank is at much higher pressures
in order to store a useful amount of gas (systems on forklift trucks can be up
to 3000 psi) and you still store a lot less fuel than in a similar size LPG
tank. There is probably an expensive two stage regulator to bring the gas
pressure down to 2-3psi. And it is hard to find anyone to fill your tank. You
might ask your municipal gas company or the local bus company if they can
either fill the tank or identify someone who can.
The benefits to CNG are that it is safer than LPG, it burns hotter so cooks
faster, and it is ridiculously inexpensive (which is why most new buses run on
it).

Does anyone on the list use CNG for their stove? If so, could you tell me
about how it works, suppliers, and pitfalls? My boat came with a CNG stove and
full tank of CNG; the system seems to be in good condition, but I'm too
intimidated by it to try it before having someone check it out; but there is
no one in our area, (meaning RV dealers) who has any knowledge of how it works
or useful information; I have looked into converting the stove to propane,
which means purchasing a new stove and full propane system, $$$; many thanks
for any info or help;
