Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007115594A1] A liquid pilot ignited gaseous fueled engines compression ignition engine (GFE) capable of operating in at least a "multi-fuel" mode in which it is fueled by a liquid pilot- ignited gaseous fuel. It may also selectively be fueled in a "diesel-only" mode in which it is fueled solely by a liquid fuel or fuels. Engines operable in both modes are typically known as "dual-fuel" engines. The GFE has a liquid fuel controller that is "unmodified" in that it is not itself reprogrammed or otherwise modified from a stock liquid fuel controller for pilot fuel supply. Data signals supplied to the liquid fuel controller and used by it to control operation of the liquid fuel injector(s) instead are intercepted by a gaseous fuel controller and modified before being transmitted to the liquid fuel controller. The liquid fuel controller thereby is, in essence, "tricked" into controlling the liquid fuel injector(s) to effect pilot fuel supply during multi-fuel operation.
