Members agedhorse Posted January 12, 2014 Members Share Posted January 12, 2014 I didn't realize natural gas could be used in a compression ignition engine either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I've seen still need diesel fuel (20-50%?) - the natural gas is mixed into the incoming air at a sub-stoichiometric ratio so it won't ignite by compression. There's even propane injection systems for trucks (propane is untaxed and otherwise cheaper than diesel in many parts of the country). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
