: I run a CB 600 hp fire tube that can run on #6 oil or nat. gas. The boiler runs at 1/4 to 1/2 throttle so I don't see a differance, but I don't know if we ran at full throttle if both fuels would keep up. The guy who buys the fuel said it's cheaper to use gas. BiLL
Thanks for the reply, I did a bunch of home work on the cost effectivness of going to natural gas and the payback for retrofitting the boilers will be less than 2yrs.My real main concern was being able to keep up with production but if I can get the right burner capacity I hopfully will be able to keep up and save some money at the same time. Thanks again for your input .
