Everything about being on the water must be like heaven. Thanksgiving in some remote anchorage this year, I'm hoping, weather permitting.
Hi Jon. At the moment we have two newly re-certified and full CNG tanks, one on the boat that has 2K pounds left, but needs to be re-certified when empty. Having four tanks in rotation sounds like a better plan. Two on the boat and two at home as backup.i own 4 tanks, 3 were free from others switching to other systems.
Yup. Those old steel tanks only become worrisome when they are deeply rust pitted according to Fire king. Otherwise, well cared for will last forever.I’ve seen other compressed gas tanks with hydro dates in the early 1900’s . I think the oldest was 1918
Thanks for the information on Commercial Sales. Was in a bit of a panic thinking I would have to move to propane. Stopped by there today and got my GNC tank filled.In case you missed my posting over on another forum, there is a CNG filling station located in Fife, WA for those in need.
Took our two empty tanks to have them re-certified this morning, which the filling station requires. Fire King in Seattle (206/337-9997) will certify a tank for five years at a cost of $60.50 each. The two I have need it done and they say it will take about a week.. Commercial Sales in Fife, WA (just south of Seattle, 253/922-6670) will fill each tank for $33.50. Both tanks need to go through the process and an update will come soon once they have filled both tanks including any hiccups along the way. Commercial Sales will fill tanks to 2,250 pounds. They are open M-F, are located at 6411 Pacific Hwy. E., Fife, WA and will fill tanks in about fifteen minutes. Fire King is open 7:00 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. M-F, are located at 240 S. Holden, Seattle WA.
Mission accomplished. Drove to Fire King this afternoon and picked up my two re-certified CNG tanks, then on to Energy Conversions (AKA Commercial Sales) in Fife. Terry the owner filled both tanks in about 15 minutes. One happy skipper here.
