Not on the diesels. Evidently it is mixed in the intake tube just before the turbo. You don't run on 100% NG. 2 to 1 ratio or so. Was curious if anyone on here had tested one yet.

There was a member on here a while back that was contemplating using CNG because of the extreme number of miles he was driving and the readily available to him supply of CNG. With the rapidly rising price and falling supply of oil/diesel/gas and the large glut of supply in CNG it continues to be a tempting alternative fuel source

i beleive when running cng it is 40% diesel and 60%cng...
figuring diesel at 3.75/gal x 40%=1.50
cng at 1.29/gal x 60%= .78
which would mean at those prices it would cost you 2.28/gal to run your truck....that right there would save me some $$$$$$$$$$

I recently researched this for use on gas vehicles, then eventually my 6.0, you can't do it and save money. If you have fueling stations in your area, many require you have and EPA certified system! If you purchase a home fueling station wow the expense alone is nuts, plus they have a short life before they need rebuilding. The regulations have made this impossible for the average American.
