[Alberg30] Propane Tank installation(Help on stoves too)

[Jacques Dusseault]

We replaced our alcohol stove 6 years ago with a two burner 
Force10 propane stove.  It slips in the cut out of the alcohol stove 
with minor cutting at the corners.  We installed a horizontal 
aluminum 20lb. propane tank behind the aft stay bolted to the deck 
and aft toe-rail.  The regulator, electric shut-off valve and pressure 
guage are fastened to the adjacent stanchion with a Y valve for our 
Force10 barbeque which is mounted to the rail.  We have a gas 
sniffer under the stove and one in the bilge.  All joints are external 
except the one connecting the stove.  The gas is feed to the stove 
through a one piece hose that runs through a sealed hole in the aft 
toe-rail.  All chaffe points are protected by running the gas hose 
through a plastic pipe.  We are very satisfied with the performance 
of the system and the stove.  If you are interested I can send you 
some diagrams and some pictures of the actual setup.
