In old skool diesels, introducing a small amount of gas into the intake, meant combustion started earlier and wider, and helped the diesel burn more effectively when injected. Meaning you could get the same bang from less diesel.
- Modern EFI diesels do the same thing with multiple injections.
- Modern Electronically Emission Controlled Diesels would likely be confused by the introduction of random gas
- I would imagine it was mostly of benefit when accelerating hard, probably less so when cruising
- Whilst the amount of gas used is small, can you imagine the time it would take to fill a decent sized LPG tank.
- The latest diesels add urea to control emissions. Any move back to gas would probably focus on Ammonia
