Dual Fuel Engine
DF or Duel Fuel Engines are the kind of engines that could operate on a mixture of gas fuel or diesel fuel or it could run on diesel fuel alone. Duel Fuel engines are not able to operate on gas alone because they do not have an ignition system, nor do they have 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 percent load. It can even be greater on lower loads.
