CNG conversions are available. Friend has a pick up truck on CNG that uses a connector similar to a gas BBQ to refill the tanks. I think he indicated cost was about $1000.00 plus tanks but that was almost 10 years ago.

Mississauga Tranist had 10 new buses on CNG for a trial, but I understand they were converted back to diesel for some unknown reason.

Before you convert, check availability of refuelling stations in your area. Also if you go on a roadtrip fuel availability is a problem.

Used to have a propane vehicle years ago in BC and the biggest fear was running out of juice somewhere and needing to be towed to get more fuel. Also there were few places to get vehicle propane during the night. Those same concerns would apply to CNG.

Not true ... a converted vehicle nowadays (and maybe always?) would still be able to run on its regular fuel.
