Dual Fuel Engine
DF or Duel Fuel Engines are the type of engines which can run on a mixture of gas fuel or diesel fuel or it can operate on diesel fuel alone. Duel Fuel engines are not able to operate on gas alone since they do not have an ignition system, nor do they have any spark plugs.
Since the engine is not a pure diesel engine and diesel is not a pure gas, this equipment does suffer from Methane slippage and fuel efficiency. Like for instance, 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.
