I have heard that some of the LPG companies have started to offer bi-fuel systems for diesel vehicles.

Bi-fuel means the system is feeding both diesel and lpg to the engine at the same time (but at different amounts of each fuel).

DIESEL CONVERSIONS

Now we can convert Diesel to LPG:

The ultimate diesel system
Increase H.P.
Torque
Fuel mileage

A fantastic new system called Gasmatronic developed by our suppliers (for small vehicles to 40t trucks) and can be added to most diesel engines. Besides the system adjustments, the driver can turn the system on or off at anytime, from inside the cab or it turns off automatically with the ignition key. The reason that LPG/Propane works so well with the diesel engine is because LPG/Propane acts as a catalyst with diesel fuel. By adding LPG/Propane to the diesel fuel you will burn almost 100% of diesel fuel, instead of 75% to 80% of fuel you now burn. That's why there is such a dramatic increase in Horsepower, torque and fuel economy. With the gasmatronic systerm, because LPG/Propane burns cooler and cleaner, your engine in turn will run cooler, cleaner and last longer. Engine response is much smoother and quicker when you add LPG/Propane to your diesel engine.

Benefits

Reduced NOX and particulate emissions are the most outstanding benefit. There are other technical non-pollution related gains, reduced crankcase solids, reduced injection service and longer acceptable oil drains. Diesel exhaust odour is also reduced.

The system is easily transferred from vehicle to vehicle
The system can be adapted on any turbocharged diesel
Horsepower increases 25 to 60%
Fuel economy up to 20 to 50%
Torque increased 30 to 60%
Maintenance cut by up to 50%
Helps prevent turbo lag
Cleaner oil
Engines can last up to 4 times longer
Horsepower and torque gains from 25 to 60%
Smoother and quieter engine
Less maintenence costs
Fuel cost cut by up to 50%
Cleaner engine
Best of all power
LPG the performance fuel
Good fuel costs less, don't settle for less

alam ko CNG ang ginagamit for diesels, not LPG...

nagpost ako sa lpg conversion thread not so long ago, about an article re gma inaugurating some lpg-powered PUJ; no idea about the details though, i seriously doubt na gaso ung PUJ na yun.

then again...diesel engines tend to be more flexible with fuel, di ba? so di malayong magyari na gagana ung lpg sa diesel engine

saw it on tv too, ang sabi 30% lpg and 70% diesel ang mix.

In a way you are correct... you cannot use LPG directly in a diesel engine. But mixing part LPG and part diesel, you can get a diesel engine to function efficiently with minor modifications to the fuel system. The fuel infrastructure for LPG and diesel is already in place.

We do not have a CNG infrastructure and the only fuel station that is equipped for CNG is laying idle along the South Super Highway. (I paid it a visit a couple of weeks ago. Kinda sad to see it being unused.)

Chances are it would be a bi-fuel system... LPG with diesel or diesel only system. The problem I can foresee would be similar to the taxi cabs, lack of proper maintenance of the LPG system which would lead to bad publicity, prompting people to blame health problems with the LPG system (like some taxi drivers are doing).
