I work in the natural gas industry and I work on and operate wells and compressors we have small compressors that run on natural gas with 496 chevrolet marine engines I see 3 problems with it ,,
#1 as stated above the pressure will be too high to carry enough of it to get a long range
#2 its dry ! It has absolutley no lubrication quality to it a 496 that runs on it for any length of time has valves that look like they were tosted in an oven ! So in my opinion some type of upper cylinder lubricant needs to be added somehow
#3 GREED you may think its cheap and it may be right now but if it becomes used widespread they will raise it to equal what gas costs now they will be no savings long term ,
It burns clean , we have one truck a worker put a acetylene torch tank in the bed and hooked up the throttle body and regulator off a junk compressor and drove it that way it worked perfect but without much pressure you dont get far , we will probably have to switch to it later not because of cost but because of its clean burning , I can get pics of the 496 engines and what parts are needed if anyone wants
