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 operate on diesel fuel alone. Duel Fuel engines could not run on gas alone because they do not posses an ignition system, nor do they have any spark plugs.



As the engine is not a pure diesel engine and diesel is not a pure gas, this machinery does suffer from poor fuel efficiency and Methane slippage. Like for instance, the fuel efficiency may be 5% to 8% less than in a comparable lean-burn, spark-ignited engine at 100% load. It could even be lower or higher loads.
