  1. You can't.  The engine-management system is exceedingly tight on these vehicles, and the added weight of those big pressure tanks would likely reduce your mileage considerably.  The Prius expects liquid fuel through fuel injectors, while a CNG car uses a highly-modified carburetor (unless they've learned to use some sort of gaseous-fuel injector of late.)  


  2. I have only heard of a few older NHW10 (1997-2000) JDM imports to the UK (no warranty or dealership serviceability) that have had a CNG or LPG conversion.  Not bi-fuel, but a conversion.  You may want to check the archives and/or enquire for more information on http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Priu...

  3. It's very expensive to do a conversion. Sell the Prius and buy a car that runs on cng instead. I have 2 of them (not for sale, sorry) and they're GREAT! $10 to fill up and cleaner than any hybrid or gasoline car out there for the environment. Look for a Ford Crown Vic, F-150 pickup truck or Honda Civic GX. They all can run on natural gas. Ford unfortunately stopped making them in 2004, but if you're very lucky, you can get yourself a brand new Civic GX. I'm an Independent, if that matters. Check out my sources to see if these awesome cars will work for you in your area...
