Good question, I'll just copy that post and send it to Jo-Anne if you don't mind.

I would think a "natural gas" only conversion would be very simple. Anyone here remember the dual fuel gasoline/propane conversions for vehicles in the 1970's and 80's? Most people I know with one were not to happy. Today the technology and electronics make them work a lot better. Eventually enough fill up stations around and we will not need the dual fuel capability. Westport's technology involves injecting gas at 3000psi....might want to check on that. At this pressure the gas may be liquid entering the cylinders.......may well be alot of patents to go along with it. I believe ATF's would be regulated down in pressure from tank pressure before entering a cylinder. A propane system I had once was stepped down to 2psi from about 190psi.......raisin
