I'm a little sceptical of this math.
18MPG on #2 and then 50 on the combo but only 25 on CNG? Sure this is a test system but there are some MPG missing here. Do you agree?

Now, I would also like to point out that caution must be used when using this or any gas under pressure.

Does anyone have any data on EGT's? What about life span on OEM motor parts, turbo etc.?

Sounds interesting but more proof is required for me.

looking at his pics, the tanks fill up the bed and looks like a bomb! I would be nervous to do it but the gains are impressive even if the numbers are skewed and you go from 18mpg to 36mpg still impressive

If I read it correctly, I think his numbers are only considering the amount of diesel fuel to arrive at the mpg posted ... when in reality, I think that he used 1 gallon of diesel fuel plus the additional amounts of LPG or CNG to get to the 50 mpg numbers.
