Hi, I'm no expert but I'd suggest some kind of ballast between your d.c. 
supply and the 'resonance' capacitors, of course inductance is the best. 
If not you're gonna stress both the d.c. and resonant caps and your gaps 
when the 2uF sees a near short-circuit at the beginning of the charge.  
hope it makes sense. Bye ... Sulaiman.
