My 1987 C-30 came to me with a compressed natural gas stove and oven, but without a CNG tank. Does anyone know of a place somewhere in New England to buy this? Once the COVID vaccine is widely available and quarantine restrictions are lifted, I’d be fine with driving some distance to get this (I live in VT). I’d rather not do the conversion to propane.

CNG tank exchange or CNG self serve stations
I know its been discussed before but things are always changing. Also, this is not a discussion of changing from CNG to Propane or Alcohol stoves, relative safety of CNG vs Propane or any thing like that. My previous source (Bert Jabin yard in Annapolis no longer exchanges tanks) Simply - how...

There's a place down the street from me that fills municipal vehicles that run on CNG, but they said that they fill those tanks at a lower pressure (2000 psi. I think) than what the marine tanks need to be filled to (3000 psi.). Would this device allow me to fill a tank there, assuming they would let me?Boat CNG Tank Refill Adapter | eBay

CNG Tank Refills in the Annapolis area
Getting CNG refills in the Annapolis area has been difficult. After Bert Jabin's Yard stopped offering tank exchanges, we started mailing our tanks to a service in Rhode Island for refills. I think the refill was $50 per tank, but packing and shipping the tanks was costly and a pain. Jabin's...

Geez. Just make the change and have one less thing to worry about. I bought a special (smaller / pancake) tank to fit in the stern of the cockpit, and had to buy a "special" cover from Catalina Direct to fit the storage box. No longer a worry. Depending on stove / oven use - might have to fill it annually, at any UHaul or other propane dealer. Life is easier 
PS We have a LOT of recurring issues to worry about on our boats - to have one that we can make "just go away" is a blessing in my book

Give Minney's in Newport Beach, CA a call. They used to have them. Of course, you'd have to figure in shipping costs from California.
There is a guy on this forum, and we are neighbors just across the creek from Jabins. I am sure he will chime in, but I don't now if CNG can be shipped?
I have a CNG tank that came with my boat when I bought her. But live in Michigan. Let.me know if you want it.
Actually I think it has some gas but not sure how much. I took the oven out and never used it. I suppose if necessary the gas could be vented out before shipping.
I don't know what it is worth. Is $100 plus you pay shipping too much?
