Ok the real reason people do natural gas conversions to trucks is for hardcore off-roading. If you are at an extreme angle you still get fuel!

but don't you loose a lot of power compared to gas? wouldn't that make it not worth it cuz i would assume that at such an extreme angle, you would want the most power...?

If I can find the magazine Ill post the highlights from it. But you would only do this swap for a hardcore rock crawler or something like that. Im sure there are things to boost the power from the NG
