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)
