Dual Fuel Engine
DF or Duel Fuel Engines are the type of engines which could operate on a mixture of diesel fuel and gas fuel or it could operate on diesel fuel alone. Duel Fuel engines are not able to work on gas alone as they do not posses 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 Methane slippage as well as fuel efficiency.. Like 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 greater on lower loads.
