Wow...This is alot of mis-information.

Diesel is a relatively high cetane fuel (low resistance to "knock" or ignition by compression). CNG is a high octane fuel (high resistance to ignition by compression). The CNG needs something to ignite it. In a dedicated NG engine, it's usually done with a spark plug. In a dual fuel engine, high percentages of CNG are ignited with a diesel micro-pilot. The diesel injection is of course timed.
