Dual Fuel Engine
Dual Fuel or DF Engines are the type of engines that can work on a mixture of gas fuel or diesel fuel or it can run on diesel fuel alone. Duel Fuel engines are not able to run on gas alone since 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 equipment does suffer from poor fuel efficiency and Methane slippage. Like for example, the fuel efficiency can be 5% to 8% less than in a comparable lean-burn, spark-ignited engine at 100% load. It can even be lower or higher loads.
