methane stoic ratio by mass: 17.2

air = 0.075 lbs/ft3.
methane = .038 lbs/ft3.

0.6536 lbs air needed for 1ft3 methane.
8.7ft3 air per 1ft3 ch4, "fogging" would be 11.5% of the intake volume at stoic if I figure it right. Probably acceptable losses given the extremely low entry cost and low cost of NG, easy enough to dump ANG methane into a throttle body, don't know about diesel.
