There should be some sort of marking on the tank, but consider that the vast 
majority of SCUBA tanks are around 80 cubic feet. If the tank is around that 
size, and it probably is, then it is likely ok. Worth checking anyway.

CNG cylinders do not have to be in a separate locker if the total installed 
capacity of the tanks is less than 100 cubic feet.

 I have a CNG stove which came with my boat (1985 C&C 37): it has the same CNG 
cylinder  being discussed: my problem is that in a recent insurance survey 
(June 2017), the surveyor made it a point to state that  the cylinder must be 
stored in a separate locker:


*7.5 As per ABYC A-22, secure the CNG tank (cylinder) in a protective dedicated 
locker, rigidly
secured to protect them from movement, readily accessible for operation of 
valves and testing
for leakage, vaportight to the hull interior, provided with a means to latch 
its cover, vented to
the atmosphere, and located so that with its cover open or closed, escaping 
vapor cannot reach
the bilges, machinery spaces, accommodations, or other enclosed spaces.


 


my Insurance company then required me to remove the cylinder from the boat in 
order to continue the policy: has anyone had to deal with this? If so, what did 
you do with the cylinder, and what was your response form the Insurance 
company? Thanks
