NAtural gas can be used in Diesels. Some even use a small squirt of Diesel to kick off the combustion.

Only in combination, I think. Natural gas by itself has too low of a cetane number.

You can’t run a diesel on Natural Gas alone. You have to have at least 10% diesel in order for the combustion ignition to occur.
