I agree.. NG is proving to be a potentially vital fuel source. I have personally seen it work while traveling in SE Asia.

However, that said.. with current NG fuel tanks, the range is limited for vehicle use. But I know there are tanks that can hold substantially greater pressures very safely.. The problem will be having sufficient high pressure 10k/psi pumps.

There's more than enough room for all of these fuels, IMO. Big marketplace out there..

Considering converting my own vehicle to a dual-fuel use.. Still have to assess the cost.. But dual-fuel (gas/NG) is a requirement for new taxis in Singapore, so I know the tech is sufficiently proven. Their problem is that NG has risen to comparable prices to gasoline in their island country.
