Yeah, I've allways wanted to know, what else could the diesel engines be run? E.g. can you run it on ethanol? I think in principle they can be run on almost anything, including powdered carbon(carbon dust) :). Of course the injectors must change in this case... As to your question, it might even be, that there is no need to change injectors. E.g. - the gaseous fuel is mixed with intake air and the diesel part is delivered as usual, only in an 10 times smaller portion. Of course this is just a gues, I haven't heared of such a modification. But I've heared of a similar mod to run on diesel /ethanol - only the ethanol part was on the order of 5%: the ethanol was injected into the diesel air intake through the ordinary carburetter, and the diesel delivered as usual Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuels list archives: http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/ Please do NOT send Unsubscribe messages to the list address.
