CNG does sound like a much better solution. Can you modify a gas engine to run it?
You dont't need a mechanical modification in engine. You need - a mixer device for fer feeding correct ratio of methane and maybe ignition time fine tune for spark ignition engines.

For diesel you don't need to modify anything. It will run on dual fuel then gas is present, or run on single diesel then gas is not present.
