Dual Fuel Engine
The Dual Fuel engine is a kind of engine which uses a mixture of diesel fuel and gas fuel or can operate off of diesel by its self. The dual fuel engine is not capable of running on gas alone. These engines do not have ignition systems and do not use spark plugs.
As the engine is not a pure diesel engine and diesel is not a pure gas, this machine does suffer from poor fuel efficiency and Methane slippage. For example, the fuel efficiency may be 5% to 8% less than in a comparable spark-ignited, lean burn engine at 100% load. It can even be greater on lower loads.
