Dual Fuel Conversions
Conversions of high horsepower diesel engines to dual fuel —including natural gas, methanol, ethanol, diesel, ammonia, and hydrogen substitution.
Direct Gas Injection
High pressure direct multi-point injection kits for optimum gas injection into combustion chamber for EMD engine conversions.
Single-Point Injection
Air intake fumigated single-point injection kits for basic four-stroke engine conversions.
100% Gas Spark Ignited Conversion
Spark ignited kit for EMD diesel engines achieves 100% diesel replacement.
Multi-Port Injection
Port injection, multiple point injection kits for advanced four-stroke engine conversions.
Low Emission Idle (LEI) System
Bank Deactivation System designed to fit EMD and GE mechanically-injected engines to reduce smoke under low load conditions.
Global Warming Reduction
Natural gas is a great bridge solution with one of the highest hydrogen to carbon ratios when compared with other fuels. A diesel to natural gas conversion reduces carbon emissions, nitrogen oxide (NOx), and particulate carbon emissions.
Clean Burning Conversion System Kits
Dependable, reliable, safe, and equipped with full-power capabilities.
100% Natural Gas Conversion
EPA engine certification to Tier 3 capability with no exhaust after-treatment or exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) required.
Benefits of Dual Fuel Conversions
Direct Benefits
- Fuel cost savings
- Significantly reduced emissions in dual fuel and 100% gas modes
- Retrofit system—expands capability and adds value to your present investment
- Lower maintenance costs & improved engine longevity due to cleaner burning fuel
- Retains diesel-only mode backup
- Fuel flexibility reduces costs when fuel prices are volatile
Indirect Benefits
- Reduces national dependence on foreign oil
- Environmentally responsible technology
- Shifts major fuel cost to a more price stable fuel source
- Flexibility in storing fuel (i.e. diesel lasts 6-12 months in storage, natural gas lasts 20+ years)
