Do we require any major engine modifications for using CNG in place of Diesel , or its simple as installing an LPG kit for petrol engines to run on LPG .
Can somebody tell , what alterations were made to convert Delhi Diesel vehicles , buses etc to run on CNG ?

The reason i’m asking is because i keep looking at some pickups for sale with diesel motors in them with over 100k+ miles on them and still selling for big bucks!! How many miles is considered “a lot” for a diesel engine??
These are all good answers.I guess i never really thought of the bigger picture if a vehicle was over 100k miles on it.No doubt that some of the other drivetrain may be bad after all those miles and not just worrying about the engine alone.Thanks to everyone.I will let this question go up for a vote.Thanx.
