A somewhat dated comparison of CNG & LNG is at http://www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/pdfs/2451.pdf , LNG is cold, so it boils off gradually and is more expensive. However, LNG stores (maybe) two and a half times more densely, so the vehicle gets greater range. I'm concerned with CNG. Those are the engine conversions I want to do. )~~( Nehmo )~~(
