Dual Fuel Engine
The Dual Fuel engine is a kind of engine which utilizes a mixture of gas fuel or diesel fuel or can operate off of diesel by its self. The dual fuel engine is not capable of working on gas alone. These engines do not have ignition systems and do not utilize 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 can be 5% to 8% less than in a comparable spark-ignited, lean burn engine at 100 percent load. It can even be greater on lower loads.
