Overview

The Gaseous Fuel System™ (GFS™) enables operators of diesel vehicles to substantially reduce operational costs and lower emissions by substituting diesel fuel with lower cost, cleaner burning natural gas. The GFS™ is comprised of patented and proprietary technologies that allow diesel engines to safely operate on gas percentages ranging from 50% to 70% of the total fuel requirement. Engines converted to Gaseous Fuel™ operation exhibit diesel-like performance in such critical areas as power, response and efficiency. A key feature of the GFS™ is its ability to switch fuel modes without interruption in vehicle operation. Conversion to Gaseous Fuel™ operation does not require modification of the engine and can typically be completed in a matter of hours. The GFS™ is compatible with both compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid natural gas (LNG) fuel storage systems.

Advantages

  • Reduced operating costs.
  • Fuel flexibility: vehicle can operate 100% diesel if required.
  • Does not require modification of the engine.
  • Lower cost vs. spark-ignited gas engines.
  • Compatible with compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied
    natural gas (LNG) fuel storage systems.
  • All high pressure gas components UL listed and/or CSA approved.
  • Gas supplied to engine at atmospheric pressure reducing possibility
    of over fueling.
  • Gas concentration in engine combustion air is less than 3% by volume.
  • Mixture is non-explosive/non-flammable until compressed in the combustion
    chamber.
  • CNG/LNG on-board systems have excellent safety history.
  • Cost Savings based on cost differential between CNG/LNG and diesel. Large
    cost differentials result in rapid ROI.
  • High fuel consumptions applications result in larger savings.
