Floyd, do a search here on CNG. Steve Dion has posted hundreds of times on the website for the sources.

UPS has refueling stations in the states. Some of these are open to the public. You may want to check them out.
Also search for CNG stations.

Thanks I found a place, there is only one in Toronto. If he closes then I guess I will have to do a conversion
Thanks Floyd
Thanks Floyd
Stu: Just a heads up for you and anyone else that is interested in building a manifold. Some of the fill stations have changed the Sherex and the part needs to be replaced. The stations may now only have 3600 PSI fill fittings.
Stu,
Should have addressed this to Shawanaga, Toronto. (thanks Stu for the reply below)
I heard of one in the Markham Rd. and Finch area. I don't recall the name.
BTW, how much pressure in the cng tank of a Hunter 40.5. It currently reads 1100 psi. Not sure how long it would last?

Doesn't matter what boat it's on.
"Nominal" pressure is 3000, Steve just reported in his last reply that it may have gone up to 3600, right?
1100 psi for a 3000 psi tank = ??? You could do the math, right? The pressure is linear to the amount left.
How long? Geez, how much do you use it?
Really. If you're living aboard compared to using the boat once a week and making a cup of coffee. Only you know that.I keep track of when I last refilled/replaced. My experience is six months, average, over the past 17 years. When I use my boat weekly and anchor out for one or two nights.
When I go up to The Delta and live aboard, less. When the boat is hauled and things are being replaced and I'm not out sailing/cooking, more.
Good luck.
Thanks Stu,
I was wondering if this was a situation where as the pressure drops down, the available fuel level drops at a faster rate. Pleased to hear it is linear.
Planning a boys week out, and will use the stove for perked coffee, and hot water - dishes. Sounds like I don't have to worry for a bit.
cheers,
Alan
