ABSTRACT:
A fuel comprising natural gas modified by the addition of hydrogen in appropriate proportions to produce a mixture with a burn rate that matches the burn rate of the gasoline is provided for burning in a gasoline engine without the need for modifications in engine timing, combustion chamber geometry, or other engine design parameters. A mixture of natural gas and nitrogen is also used to increase the knock limit on the power curve of fumigated diesel (compression ignition) engines and to increase the lean burn limit in spark ignition engines.
