  • Dual fuel system for a combustion engine
    Patent number: 9745903
    Abstract: A dual fuel system for a combustion engine includes an air and fuel mixer configured to mix air and fuel provided to the combustion engine, a first fuel path for a first fuel, and a second fuel path for a second fuel. The first and second fuels have different physical and chemical properties. The dual fuel system also includes a common fuel path coupled to the air and fuel mixer and both the first and second fuel paths, wherein the common fuel path includes an electronically controlled valve configured to regulate the air to fuel ratio of an air/fuel mixture provided to the combustion engine in response to control signals from a controller, and both the first and second fuel paths are coupled to the common fuel path at a location upstream of the electronically controlled valve.
