What is Bi-Fuel...


Bi-fuel is the principle of running two fuels in an engine simultaneously.

At present Greenpower Bi-Fuels introduce a small amount of LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) into a diesel engine via the air inlet manifold, this has the effect of acting as a catalyst, causing the diesel to combust more effectively, burning more of the diesel, at the same time lowering the combustion temperature and slowing the burn down.

This same principle is used in modern coal-burning electricity generating plants to create the same effects.

    The results are
  • More energy released per litre of fuel used
  • Fewer emissions per litre of fuel used

    In real terms the following benefits result
  • Improved performance (driveability)
  • Reduced transit times following the above
  • Better economy, more MPG
  • Fewer emissions, less smoke, NOx's, CO2
