I'm curious .. with the tank on the stern rail
as pictured, how are the ABYC requirements fulfilled?
1. LPG cylinders, cylinder valves, regulating
equipment, and safety devices shall be readily
accessible, secured for sea conditions, and
protected from the weather and against
mechanical damage i.e. your tank and (I assume
regulator, gauge and solenoid) are unprotected.
2. installed in a ventilated location on the
exterior of the boat where escaping gases will
flow directly overboard i.e. just as much chance to flow into the cockpit.
3. A relief valveâs point of discharge shall
be at least 20 inches (508mm) distant from any
opening to a cabin or the hull interior. i.e.
your tank is right next to the blower intake (or exhaust, I'm not sure which).
Don't get me wrong, I've wrestled with the same
issues and it is near impossible to meet all
requirements in a retrofit. My propane system
isn't connected right now, until I have a better
plan in place (and my composite tank is expired anyway).
