Does anyone know who can help me convert a Natural Gas powered Reciprocating Engine into a lean burning engine to reduce the emissions? I have a old Caterpillar engine that produces substantial amounts of NOx and CO and I need to reduce the emission in the area without replacing the whole engine with a newer model. What other economical methods could be used to achieve this?

Thanks,
Gavin Tweedie
