What is the effect of CNG on petrol engine?

I am looking for technical information on the following... Conversion of Diesel Engine to CNG... Type of kits that make it possible.... Technical information on how a Diesel engine can work on CNG, performance, cost etc Functioning of a CNG Conversion Kit.. CNG quality & performance issues, petrol vs CNG as fuel Effect of CNG on car engines.. Lower RPM's, Less power, engine load, lubrication and early wear out? Mixing ethanol in petrol... Change in chemical nature of petrol and its properties.. what ethanol achieves through mixing ... Good points/bad points, effect on the quality and energy output of petrol etc

Ethanol is bad and creates many nasty acids that wear away the journal bearing babbits, etc. Many materials cannot stand up to the increase acidity present when burning higher percentages of ethanol. (Boy i hope i don't mean methanol instead of ethanol. You might want to double check me there!)CNG can ONLY be used on SUPERCHARGED diesel engines. To date, there are no SUPERCHARGED automotive diesel engines made. The only way to get CNG into a diesel engine is to use very large superchargers which run mechanically off the crankshaft to ensure enough air-fuel mixture gets into the engine. See Waukesha for stationary CNG products. Traditionally, many diesel/CNG power plants run on CNG most of the time to save $. CNG is GREAT for normally aspirated automotive spark-ignition engines. It may produce less peak power, but the cylinder wear is REDUCED, oil contamination REDUCED--the engine runs SO MUCH CLEANER it is unbelievable. Combustion chambers remain spotless and spark plugs stay clean. CNG evaporators need a heat source, so in cold climates you may have to have a preheater.You may be able to increase compression ratio when building up an automotive conversion--but don't overdo it. I know plenty of CNG trucks that end up blowing a head gasket because people have a lead foot. You could probably run a 9.0. The best engines to use are V-8 carbureted truck engines. Total fleets of frozen food delivery trucks have been converted to CNG--but none has a diesel engine--they are all gasoline type engines. So they do use them in trucks. CNG will run out fast in your automotive application. CNG must be stored in a gas phase, which means by the cubic foot. It is not practical usually to build CNG storage into a car, and check with your Dept. of Transportation on explosion hazards--it may be illegal in some cases to carry so much cubic feet of explosive gas on a car or in a non-rated tank. The heating value, i.e. energy per cubic foot of fuel is far less than gasoline, and less than propane. The most practical conversions for cars are propane kits. They are very simple: pressure regulator, evaporator, and some kind of throttle linkage. You will get a few more miles per bottle of propane than CNG. Both propane and CNG keep engines spotlessly clean. Be sure to start with a clean engine and be sure that the valves have valve seats in the heads. Exhaust gases can run the valves a bit hotter than when burning gasoline because of unburnt hydrocarbons in the exhaust--if your air-fuel ratio is right, you will never have that problem with CNG or LPG.
