One other comment about CNG Ours has two regulators and then the solenoid valve.
In 2021 we noted that leaving the tank valve opened for any amount of time allowed the tank to empty. This was very concerning. We replaced the first cut regulator (that steps down from 3000psi to about 100+), the second cut regulator (from 150 to whatever the stove expects) and also the solenoid and all hoses. My gas tech showed me a photo afterward of the insides of our original first cut regulator. It was simply a pile of rust – the diaphrams, etc… has completely corroded away. The gas would pas to the second cut regulator and onto the stove and the excess pressure went to the overboard discharge safety vent. These regulators where installed in 1987 and exposed to a salt water environment their entire life. Now that it is all new and safe and certified we of course have not used it in over a year ….

I would assume it does, but want to check. I am thinking of going from CNG to propane, CNG is very hard to source now in most places.
