Or you can do a natural gas conversion. I have seen 5.9L cummins converted to run on natural gas for sale on the government surplus web sites.
100% biodiesel is easier, cheaper and renewable. Also can be produced with TDP. For a conversion to gas, one needs an ignition system in addition to a large heavy fuel system. Much more feasible starting with a gasoline engine.

Liquid fuels make a whole lot of sense.
