Patent number: 9567918Abstract: A bi-fuel control system can include an electronic control module and a control unit that are in communication with each other. The system can include a first set of fuel injectors that are configured to deliver a primary fuel to an engine and can include a second set of fuel injectors that are configured to deliver a secondary fuel to the engine. The bi-fuel control system can operate in either a primary operational state in which the first set of injectors is used or a secondary operational state in which the second set of injectors is used. In either operational state, the electronic control module can control the respective set of injectors independently from the control unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2011Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Go Natural CNG, LLCInventors: Lucas Kjar, Matthew M. Matsukawa
