You CANNOT "just convert" to gasoline operation. The engine computer, emissions certifications, complete fuel system, some fuel wiring are COMPLETELY different. You are looking at at LEAST $2000 in parts alone, plus about 40 hours of labor to make it run on gasoline.
Used CNG vehicles are basically worthless, unless, like me, you are willing to purchase a CNG fill station and fill at your home (very safe and inexpensive). If you only have LP (propane), you can easily convert to that.

Well they said they are converting it before they sell it to me so i won't have to pay anything for the convertion unless of course i pay the 5500 and thats way too much in the 1st place. Im thinking more and more that this isn't a good idea to get this van.... I see They are very unrealiable people so i just may not deal with them at all. thanks
