Dual Fuel Engine
DF or Duel Fuel Engines are the kind of engines which can operate on a mixture of diesel fuel and gas fuel or it could work on diesel fuel alone. Duel Fuel engines can not operate on gas alone as they do not have an ignition system, nor do they have any spark plugs.
Because 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. 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.
