USING GRILL WITH ON-BOARD CNG (NATURAL GAS) SYSTEMS
Magma's grills are designed for use with small disposable propane canisters or with pre-regulated
low-pressure propane and optional low-pressure valves. Running high-pressure propane fuel supply
lines on a boat is in violation of American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) guidelines and is not
considered a safe application. Additionally, impurities found in larger refillable propane tanks may
clog the small orifices in the high-pressure control valve/ regulator causing it to lose performance
capabilities and eventually fail. Regulating these tanks to 1/2 PSI and using this pre-regulated
propane with the correct low-pressure valve will insure safe, efficient performance of the grill.
