Diesel is the single largest pollutant of environment today.
Cleaner Diesel engines are very expensive.
Pakistan has one of the best Natural Gas distribution system in the World.
Natural Gas is the only viable replacement of Diesel as per many International studies.

There is no basic change in the Diesel Engine.
The FI pump is recalibrated generally to 30% of original capacity and additional 70% supply of natural gas replaces the reduced amount of Diesel.
Actual Gas/Diesel consumption is generally 50:50
Emission controls are not good due to Diesel burning.
Cost of conversion is generally more
Maintenance costs are higher as although the conversion is simpler but the system requires frequent adjustments afterwards.

The engine configurations are changed to accommodate lower compression ratio, spark ignition system and closed-loop fuel control system.
The engine runs on CNG only
Emission levels are near zero
Cost of conversion is lesser
Maintenance costs are lower as although the conversion is more complex but the system does not need frequent re-adjustments.
