Re: [Electric Boats] CNG/Tri-fuel Generators?

Keith, do a google search on dual fuel carburetors, I'm going to run dual fuel on my 6500 watt Honda powered generator myself... Dave K

Does anyone on the group have experience with using CNG on their generator? That seems an ideal solution (paired with CNG stove/heater/fridge for example) - I really hate having gasoline on board and I have to say I've never successfully re-fueled any portable device without spilling gas (and CA's stupid CARB containers only make the problem worse).

I see kits on eBay for converting the Honda's/Yamaha's to tri-fuel (propane/CNG/gas)- not too expensive and claimed to be easy. I don't like propane for the same reasons as gas, so I'm interested in pro's/con's of CNG (like - is energy density/smell/etc an issue?)

Thx
