Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: CNG Gas Stove Instructions

[Bill Coleman via CnC-List]

Mine doesn’t ignite as well.

I found a single AA battery in a (broken) holder that clips to the edge under 
the oven. 

I held it together to try to make contact, but couldn’t get the igniter to come 
to life.

Not sure if getting a proper battery holder will do the trick, but think I will 
try.

Thanks everyone for the information.  I have documented the details of what 
everyone has said.  One final question, it might be dumb but, where do I light 
the stove and how.

 

Thanks,

Thanks guys,

I'll double check the wiring next time.   I do have 2 banks consisting  of
3 batteries: 1 smaller unit (Still "Marine Deep cycle" ) as a starting
battery and 2 larger ones connected in parallel as house.

I also have a "smart" Xantrex Truecharge2 charger.  Since we sometimes
can't make it to the boat for several weeks at a time, especially in the
winter (We sail 12 months a year) I pretty much always leave the charger on
when the boat is at the dock to make sure the batteries stay topped-off.

Outside of replacing the house batteries 2 years ago and the starting
battery this year (They're cheapo Walmart batteries and were 5-7 years old)
Everything was working perfect until a last week, now the the charger is
throwing an error / might be fried so I'm looking at this charging thing in
greater details.

I'll let you guys know what I find out about the charger / what I'll do
about it.

Thanks again.

 Ray,
There is not much to this. Others may elaborate, but here's my take:
Your primary concern should be to check for leaks - most likely around the 
regulator. Check along the length of the line first for any obvious damage or 
kinks. Check the flex lines. Maybe you have a separate shutoff valve inside the 
boat, or a solenoid-actuated shutoff - likely not with an older CNG setup. With 
the stove off, open the tank-top valve to pressurise the line. Use soapy water 
on the fittings and look for bubbles. When you first try to light the stove, 
it'll take a while as you have to first bleed the air from the line. Never 
leave the stove unattended, and shut off at the cylinder when not in use.
CNG is safer than propane, but with some major downsides. The key difference 
between CNG and LPG is that you have compressed gas, not liquid - so a LOT LESS 
fuel.?With CNG you have a bottle like a scuba tank, and those tanks are heavy!? 
They are also a pain to find a place to swap out or fill. Expect to use your 
tank up pretty quickly. You may have a pressure gauge on your regulator - 
you'll see it drop pretty soon with use.

Damian
