    no, cng should be around half the pressure(volume and yeah im guessing)than propane, so youd be trying to burn around twice the fuel +-.anyway i think thats what it translates to in btu’s.

    No because you require special high pressure tanks to compress a sufficient amount of natural gas.

    I had a vehicle set up with natural gas and required special fiberglass tanks to fill it. The tanks were in a van and about 3ft x 1ft diameter. With three tanks installed I only got about 100 miles out of fill.
    Also your natural gas supplier would require a special compressor to fill the tanks. Took me almost a 1/2 hr to transfer and was a pain.
