Jerry,
I'd switch even my old diesels for synthetic diesel. It's cleaner, more power,
better mileage, but I don't expect to see it. It's better to try to create
something else rather than what could be. And even our old diesels would run on
synthetic diesel without costly mods.
Best Wishes,
Are we talking about running diesel engines on CNG (I'd only heard of that with
spark ignition engines), or are we talking about synthesizing diesel from NG?
Mitch.

Running diesels on natural gas is old news. Been done for years in the
transmission line business.

Converting flared/stranded natural gas deposits into diesel is the veritable
valhalla of synthetic fuels development.

I have some experience with that program. About 12 years ago our local
transit system converted several buses to LNG [Liquified Natural Gas] to
join the clean is green movement. The engines ran OK, delivery and fill
systems worked fine, however, power and mileage lost the match. Total BTU

Diesels have been modified to run on NG for some time in the transmission line
and drilling industry. This is mainly due to cheap and readily available gas
supplies at the point of origin.
Keep in mind that the decreased power output was offset by oversizing the prime
mover, with the resulting
I believe if you take a gasoline engine and raise the compression ratio, you can
get better power than with gasoline (but range is still a problem with
compressed natural gas)
15-20 years back, Dick Guldstrand was showing drawings of a proposed ultra high
performance CNG fueled Corvette GS.
Commonly done in the generator and industrial engine market. Wreaked a lot of
havoc because there were two different pistons used for the same engine,
depending on the type of fuel used.
You could go down, but not up...

Is it too early to ask the collective opinion of this apparently new technology
that is available to retrofit current diesel engines from dinosaur-diesel fuel
to clean burning natural gas? Not sure of the name of the company, but I hear
that Caterpillar and Cummins will be using this technoogy.
Natural gas is also a dinosaur fuel ---
