Any diesel engine can burn CNG or propane with minimal modification to the existing engine and fuel system.
The easiest way to use CNG or propane is by diesel intake fumigation.
That is where you add a combustable vapor to a diesels intake air and replace BTUs of diesel with BTUs of far cheaper CNG BTUs.
Plus when you run low on CNG no problem, you run out and keep running on diesel just like a normal diesel engine.
These guys use diesel+propane, diesel+water-methanol or diesel+CNG:
