{B} Diesel Engines running on dual fuel mode.
In dual fuel mode of operation, engine modification is confined to a special induction manifold fitted with a gas-air mixer. The pilot injection of diesel amounting to 15 -30% of original consumption (approximately equal to the no-load diesel consumption of the engine) is required for ignition, depending on the load. The loss in engine output is normally 20-25% on dual fuel operation.
The diesel engine can revert to 100% diesel operation and 100% capacity immediately on switching off of producer gas supply to the air-gas mixer.
