Not sure of the price. The sytem is like the LPG setup. You can do a little, to have the effect of having NOS. or you can lean your diesel fuel to be a spark, and run mostly CNG. this is what banks does with their system. CNG like LPG are Spark ignition fuels, and are tempermental in extreme climate changes. Good luck with your searches.

Much like propane but less power. The local gas company here runs all their gasser rucks on cng. It sucks for power.

Whats the availability of stations to fill your tank? Cost is probably $1500+

IMO, a waste of $
