Abstract: Present invention optimizes utilization of different fuels in various single and multi-fueled engines. The fuel system and optimization controller links fuel properties (physical, reactionary, combustion etc.) to on-board computer systems during the refueling process. This link enables fuel and additive producers an opportunity to optimize combustion parameters of their proprietary fuel blends to increase performance, fuel efficiencies and reduce emissions.
Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for adapting and modifying an existing mono-fuel delivery system for an internal combustion engine to run as a bi-fuel system by reusing and repurposing OEM components of the mono-fuel system. The bi-fuel system makes use of an integration plate that may be mounted to the system fuel filter in substantially the same location as the fuel filter is mounted in the mono-fuel configuration. The integration plate also may deliver either fuel types into the existing engine fuel intake port thus the system does not require the creation of a secondary fuel intake port for the secondary fuel. The integration plate may also be situated such that it minimizes the space it must use within the engine compartment and it may use the preexisting engine mounting points designed for the fuel filter in the mono-fuel system.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for modifying an engine for use with an alternative fuel that needs to be conditioned. Coolant is diverted from the original engine heater core and is used to heat or condition the alternative fuel both in the alternative fuel tank and in a special manifold that heats and circulates the fuel before delivering it to the engine. An electronic control unit monitors the temperature and pressure to ensure proper viscosity and engine operation.
