Dual Fuel Engine
Dual Fuel or DF Engines are the type of engines which can work on a mixture of gas fuel or diesel fuel or it could operate on diesel fuel alone. Duel Fuel engines can not run on gas alone because they do not have an ignition system, nor do they possess any spark plugs.
Since diesel is not a pure gas, and it is not a pure diesel designed engine, it has some disadvantages in the department of fuel efficiency, as well as Methane slippage.. For example, the fuel efficiency may 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.
