ABSTRACT:
A system for storing, handling, and controlling the delivery of the gaseous fuel to internal combustion engine powered devices adapted to run simultaneously on both a liquid fuel and a gaseous fuel. The invention provides a control system having a float controlled solenoid for ensuring that a consistent supply of dry gas is delivered to the engine. The invention uses the sensors and computer of the existing electronic fuel delivery system of the device to adjust the amount of liquid fuel delivery to compensate for the amount of gaseous fuel injection. The invention provides a gaseous fuel control system for a dual fuel device which is integrated and compact, and which preferably includes a fuel fill connection for the gaseous fuel. The invention also provides a horizontal fuel reservoir comprised of end interconnected parallel conduits and, preferably, includes two separate compartments and a pressure relief system for permitting expansion into a relief compartment from a main compartment. It also provides horizontal and vertical interchangeable reservoirs with expansion properties filled by weight.
