No, he really does mean CNG "Compressed Natural Gas".

You can get them from Advanced Fuels Technology in Melbourne.

Its a great way to go from a safety point of view. The specific gravity of CNG at atmospheric pressure is about 0.6 compared to LPG at 1.2, so any leaks will disperse upwards rather than finding a low spot.

New Zealand is very advanced in CNG technology. In Australia, some city buses seem to be the only industry segment that have changed over to using CNG.

It's fantastic I had a problem with the steering chain but had it change and so far touch wood that's been the only problem. Haven't ventured to far away from of Sydney Harbor been as far as Cronulla and she is still teaching me a few things, she loves a good breeze and likes to heel over and go.
Unfortunately My mother and then my younger brother passed away last year and I've been busy handling the estates but that is almost done now so I will have more time for sailing.
