Addendum: Filling a 2200 PSI tank with a 2200 PSI hose take a LONG time. The last little bit takes forever.

Cars seem to fill to 3000 or 3600 PSI and my boat tanks never seem to have more than maybe 2200-2400 when I get them. I plan to fill mine to 2200. Just like any other tank, watch the gauge and shut it off when it gets to the pressure you want.

I got this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Boat-CNG-Tank-Refill-Adapter-/182573732313?hash=item2a823e11d9:g:r0UAAOSwzaJX3UrH&vxp=mtr) and now should be able to fill the tank for about $2 or so :) We have CNG fill stations for cars around here, but the adapter is totally different from a boat tank.
