Natural gas diesel

Don`t know if this has been discussed before , they`re running NG diesels in buses in california.

Can the cummins be converted to run on this or not?

Thanks,

It would either be an NG engine or Diesel. The internals are very different such as compression ratio and piston design. I have worked with the compressors in the stations for filling those.

you can do a CNG injection (similar to propane)

Awesome article! Does anybody have more information on this? Maybe I could do a little research on prices and instructions and post them.

Fair enough.. Most companies are going one way or the other for the cost of the CNG set up. Sorry for the confusion.
