ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an alternate fuel system for a diesel engine that contains a fuel processing unit, and a alternate fuel storage tank that feeds alternate fuel to the fuel processing unit and then on to the engine. In this case, there are a series of pressure control valves that control the pressure and flow of the alternate fuel from the storage vessel to the fuel processing unit. In addition, to ensure safe operation of the fuel processing unit it has a relief valve that releases excess pressure from the system. Furthermore, this fuel processing unit has a heater to vaporize the alternate fuel for feedings into the system. This alternate fuel system will feed the alternate fuel from the fuel lines in either a fixed fuel flow or a variable fuel flow system.
