Dual Fuel Engine
The Dual Fuel engine is a kind of engine that uses a mixture of gas fuel or diesel fuel or can run off of diesel by its self. The dual fuel engine is not capable of running on gas alone. These engines do not have ignition systems and do not use spark plugs.

Because diesel is not a pure gas, and it is not a pure diesel designed engine, it has some disadvantages in the department of fuel efficiency, as well as Methane slippage.. Like for instance, the fuel efficiency could be 5% to 8% less than in a comparable lean-burn, spark-ignited engine at 100 percent load. It can even be lower or higher loads.

Lift Truck Fuel Sources and Classifications
There are certain recycling materials handling applications that could prove really challenging for lift trucks. For instance, scrap metal is one of these problems. In order to successfully handle things like this needs utilizing the correct type of equipment for the job.

In this write-up, the 7 major lift truck classes are discussed, including the power sources like liquid propane gas, hydrogen fuel cell, gasoline, diesel and electric. The power source is linked to several of these particular classes. The main power sources for forklifts comprise Diesel, Gasoline, Battery, Fuel Cell and Propane.

The most common overall are electric powered trucks, mostly in Class III, II and class I forklifts. In Classes IV and V, internal combustion trucks are more common. The most common electric power source is the lead-acid battery. Among internal combustion trucks, roughly more than 90 percent are propane powered.

The battery is the forklifts most popular power source. Battery powered units make up around 60% of the new forklifts sold in the USA. Their benefits comprise: quiet operation, less maintenance requirements, the ability to be used inside and outside with no harmful emissions.
