Dual Fuel Engine

DF or Duel Fuel Engines are the kind of engines that can work on a mixture of gas fuel or diesel fuel or it could work on diesel fuel alone. Duel Fuel engines are not able to operate on gas alone because they do not posses an ignition system, nor do they have any spark plugs.



As diesel is not a pure gas, and it is not a pure diesel designed engine, it has some disadvantages in the department of Methane slippage as well as fuel efficiency.. Like for instance, the fuel efficiency could be 5% to 8% less than in a comparable spark-ignited, lean burn engine at 100% load. It could even be greater on lower loads.
