RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] CNG power for subs

Yes, Nice engine but still a little heavy for me. So how come you do
superyacht tenders?  Sounds interesting! Also you always come up with
something, models, answers etc. I enjoy your site too.   Chs Hugh

Ping.. We use this engine in our high performance superyacht tenders. 
No need for petrol, CNG or LPG - just a very light diesel.
