Andy, I don't have experience with CNG, but I do want to caution you 
that, while it is lighter than air, it is every bit as dangerous as 
propane.  I hear too many people make the assumption that it is safe.  A 
friend of mine told me a story about a boat he was on where the CNG 
leaked an pooled under the cabintop.  If he had not noticed it before 
there was a spark, it could have been a disaster.
