Hola, trying to get a couple of CNG tanks from San Diego to La Paz Before Thanksgiving. I'll pay for some Fuel? Open to any sugestions. Thanks in advance!

these are things looked at by the border guys and homeland security

and why natural gas...they use propane here or are they nitrogen for tires

use an importer at the border...he can ship them for you at a reasonable cost too

Thanks for the responce! It is Natural Gas. Its for a boat stove. I think I can convert it to Propane but as I don't get down often I figured Two tanks a year should do the trick (their about the size of scuba tanks)

Stick with natural gas on a boat, propane is heavier than air and can be a problem on a boat if not properly installed.

Throw in some swimming flippers and a mask, if they ask, tell 'em they are SCUBA tanks.... :lol:

wouldn't 2 scuba tank sized natural gas power a boat stove for about a year?

We like to cook and spend about 4-5 weeks aboard per year. 2 Tanks should keep us covered.

Nat Gas for sure safer,,, but seems like is only readily available stateside. gonna have to do the conversion as we go further south

got a bunch of old scuba gear,, so here lets try this:
