Any suggestions on where to get a refill exchange around Baltimore.  Short of that could someone point out the link to the homemade thingamagig for refilling?  Having trouble with the search.


Adapter, that's the word I was looking for.

Think I found the adapter thread.  http://c34.org/projects/projects-cng-refill-adapter.html

There's a much NEWER one in the tech wiki with IMPORTANT updates.

Please use that one.

Anyone know why there are two configurations.  Can anyone explain the differences between the two and which would be better for our needs.

Note that both eBay listings carry the same part number (CNG 101)

There are two PSIs 3000 and 3600.  You would need to check your tank (probably 3000) and buy the matching adapter.  Stations usually have both pressures, and the connections are different with 3600 being more for the car and 3000 for cooking.  Looking at the picture, that looks like what it is, two different adapters.

One turns 90 degrees after the tank and the other is straight line from the tank.

This is the vendors reply to my question about the differences.

"The adapter that is a 90 you can use the red valve to control the cng going into your tank
the other straight one you cant that is the only difference"

AHHH yes!  All the valve does on the straight is shut off the pressure gauge.  D'OH!   :?

You're a prince and I appreciate the offer but I have already ordered my own.  I'm looking forward to blowing myself up at a CNG self-serve public refill station which is just 3 miles from my boat. (how convenient).
