I'll bet Westport could convert any of those models into an OEM LNG engine (with pilot diesel). Need cryogenic fuel tank as well.

I love this company Westport Innovations (Stock symbol: WPRT). I think they are a ffantastic investment and are likely to get taken over by any one of Cummins, Volvo, Daihmler, Ford or even Catepillar. Westport is the market leader in nat gas engines in transportation and in the right spot at the right time. stock currently $28.94.

That would be the expensive part but you don't need that. As long as your using enough gas the expansion keeps the liquid cold, but if you use too much you need to heat it up.
