Terminology
There are three main types of CNG powered vehicles;
| Bi-Fuel: | A spark ignition engine that can be operated on petrol or natural gas at the demand of the driver or automatically if the gas runs out. |
| Dual fuel: | Natural Gas is injected into a diesel engine and ignited by a pilot flow of diesel, usually at a ratio of 70-80% gas to 20-30% diesel. |
| Dedicated: | Either a converted spark ignition petrol engine or a diesel engine that has been converted to spark ignition that can only be operated on Natural Gas |
