Patent number: 10316769Abstract: An alternative fueling system configured to consume alternative fuels by renewable identification number (RIN) assignment to enforce neat consumption; or moreover and more specifically, to utilize that RIN assignment whenever neat consumption is possible, thereby lessening usage constraints upon the remaining stock(s) of renewable fuel as an example, and/or to provide purging of the alternative fuel from the engine on shutdown.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2018Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: IMMIXT, LLCInventors: Edward A. Payne, Rodger Karl Williams

Patent number: 9458772Abstract: A fuel control system and method for providing fuel to an internal combustion engine are provided. The fuel control system generally includes at least one valve device structured to deliver a fuel supply to the engine, a first fuel source structured to provide a primary fuel to the valve device, a second fuel source structured to provide an alternate fuel to the valve device, and an electronic controller structured to control the valve device. The electronic controller controls the valve device as a function of various data to selectively deliver the primary fuel and the alternate fuel to generate a fuel supply, e.g. as a mixture of the two fuels. The data used to control the fuel supply may include GPS data, engine data, environmental data, and/or other operational data.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2014Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: IMMIXT, LLCInventors: Rodger K. Williams, Edward Payne
