Can Diesel Vehicles Be Converted to Natural Gas?
1 Answers
Diesel vehicles can be converted to natural gas, specifically to a dual-fuel system. The process involves injecting a slightly higher amount of diesel than idle speed into the cylinder. During compression ignition, an ignition advance device is used to allow the diesel to combust earlier, followed by the injection of natural gas. Natural Gas Vehicles: Natural gas vehicles refer to cars that use natural gas as fuel (including Compressed Natural Gas, CNG, and Liquefied Natural Gas, LNG). Therefore, their engines are specifically designed for natural gas, and the fuel is stored in gas cylinders. Diesel Vehicles: Diesel vehicles refer to cars that use diesel as fuel. Their engines are conventional diesel engines, and the fuel is stored in fuel tanks. Due to the difference in fuel, the fuel supply systems of these vehicles also vary.
