Most likely, and some of the > problems are obvious. Indeed. I don't know what part of the world you're from, but here in OZ natural gas hasn't taken off as a motor fuel despite us having a huge supply of the stuff. There are some who use it, but the numbers are very small and its principally found in industrial applications such as powering forklifts and generators, or in some large trucks and busses that have been converted from diesel. LPG, or Propane, is the number one alternative fuel to petrol for most cars and light trucks, and it has a lot of advantages. -- Regards, Noddy.
