Patent number: 9765707Abstract: The present invention relates to fuel systems for diesel engines. In particular, the invention relates to a dual fuel supply system (10) for a diesel engine having an indirect-injection system (12). The invention extends to a diesel engine incorporating the dual fuel supply system (10) and to a vehicle that incorporates a diesel engine having the dual fuel supply system (10). The dual-fuel supply system (10) includes a mixed fuel supply system (17) that includes a first stage (14) having a diesel tank (42) and LPG tank (44), and as second stage (16) to supply the fuel mixture to the injection system (12). The dual-fuel supply system (10) also includes diesel supply system (80) for delivering diesel to the injection system (12). Moreover, the dual fuel system (10) is configured to permit selective change over between the diesel supply system (80) and the mixed fuel system (17) to supply the injection system (12) selectively with either diesel or liquid fuel mixture respectively.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2010Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: DGC INDUSTRIES PTY LTDInventors: Uwe Alexander Krug, Will Fisher

Patent number: 8973560Abstract: The present invention is directed to a dual fuel supply system for supplying fuel to a direct-injection system of a diesel engine. The dual fuel supply system includes a diesel supply system to supply diesel to the direct-injection system; and a mixed fuel supply system that is operatively able to supply a liquid fuel premixture of diesel and liquefied gaseous fuel to the direct-injection system at a supply pressure within a fuel demand pressure range of the direct-injection system and at a corresponding temperature range that retains the fuel premixture below its vapor temperature as it flows through the fuel path of the direct-injection system and the diesel engine. The dual fuel supply system is configured to permit selective change over between the diesel supply system and the mixed fuel system to supply the direct-injection system selectively with either diesel or liquid fuel premixture respectively.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2011Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: DGC Industries Pty LtdInventor: Uwe Alexander Krug

Patent number: 8220439Abstract: The present invention is directed to a dual fuel system and a dual fuel system assembly where liquid LPG and diesel are mixed and then distributed via the common rail to the combustion chambers. The liquid fuel mixture remains in a liquid state and under pressure for introduction to the combustion chambers. With the preferred embodiment of the dual fuel system, only minor changes are required to the diesel engine without altering the manufactures specifications and voiding the manufacturer's warranties. The resultant combustion of the liquid fuel mixture provides a cleaner emission and relatively cheaper vehicle operational costs.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2007Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: DGC Industries Pty. Ltd.Inventor: Will Fisher
