The only practical way to do that would be to sell the electric clothes dryer and use the proceeds toward purchase of a gas dryer. Even if it was possible to convert the dryer the cost would be prohibitive versus a new dryer. If you mean converting the building, then you would need to have natural gas plumbing installed, and you would need an outlet that matches the voltage of the new dryer.
Install in previous spot , with out new gas piping I'd charge $150 in Washington DC area.
I guess you technically could but it would be much, much cheaper to just buy a gas fired dryer.
For natural gas, it normally is the responsibility of the gas company to make any repairs of gas lines outside of the dwelling. If you want a new gas line to lead to your new gas stove, it will cost you but that is rather nominal: about $30.
For a gas dryer in the US you will need a 120 volt outlet to plug into. The old electric dryer was 220 volts so that outlet cannot be used as it is currently. Second, you will need to have a gas line run to the site of the new dryer. That should be it.
I bought the same dryer in March of 1999. It was one of the earlier years of the Neptune models.

no, unless you can find a gas powered generator to make your electricity, then yes. No!! In the electric dryer there is a heating element ... for a gas dryer there is a heating box where a gas flame has to exist in order to heat sufficiently for the clothes to dry. Configuring an electric dryer to gas is impractical, and simply an unwise thing to even attempt. The conversion process would cost more than just going out and purchaseing a gas dryer.
There are several company's selling and inventing new gas masks.

for USA, Canada and other countries running a 60 Hz supply service.For installation of any gas-powered appliances you should always call an experienced gas technician who holds a license to do the work.Improper installation can result in gas leakage, fire, explosion, serious injury and death.Always follow the recommendations of the dryer manufacturer.It's a good idea when working indoors with any gas appliance to set a fan in the work area. This hastens ventilation in case of a minor error. Once the gas lines are connected, the gas restored and the fan switched off, a gas smell usually indicates a very recent problem, ie, you have a leak.There are three separate connections to be made on a gas dryer.1. The gas connection. Always use a NEW flex line hose, available at home improvement stores or wherever dryers are sold. Wrap the male threads with Teflon tape to insure a tight seal. Gently and snugly tighten the two ends of the flex line to the gas stub out in the wall and the dryer.2. Spray soapy water onto the gas flex line connections to check for gas leaks. The appearance of growing bubbles indicates a leak. Repeat step one if necessary.3. The exhaust duct. Secure the large foil hose to the duct in the wall with a large screw ring and do the same with the other end to the dryer. Take care not to puncture the foil hose or heat and dryer dust will vent inside the room.4. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.5. Turn the dryer on to a heat setting and check for adequate heat in the clothes compartment.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
