You'll find with the cng truck there is a slight delay in the pedal/engine response.
Once you have the timing of that delay down I'm sure you'll be fine.
Good luck and don't cut it close on fuel lol its not like someone can run out with a can to splash in

And don't forget to push in the clutch when stopping.
