Dual Fuel Engine
The Dual Fuel engine is a kind of engine that uses a mixture of gas fuel or diesel fuel or can work 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 machinery does suffer from Methane slippage and fuel efficiency. For example, 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.
