John:
    My Frers was equipped with CNG.  Even though it's heat content was less than propane, it provided more than enough for the stove/oven.  ( hot water was via engine cooling water heat exchanger. )  Being lighter than air, any leaking CNG would vent up-and-out, and not down into the bilge/engine area as would propane.
With the diesel engine and CNG cooking, I felt I had the safest racer / cruiser configuration.
