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.
