A New and Better Alternative Fuel System
Alternative Fuel Technology, LLC in Ontario, Canada has come up with a discovery that can help change vehicles that run on diesel fuel into vehicles that don’t pollute (or pollute very little). Alternative Fuel Technology is an organization specializing in research and development. They are currently designing and developing prototype manufacturing of fuel systems that will be able to use a new alternative fuel called dimethyl ether (DME).
Alternative Fuel Technology has developed fuel injector systems for vehicles that run on DME. They also provide DME fuel systems for testing and research.
An exceptional attribute of these systems is that they are low cost and efficient, and they can be retrofitted to work with most diesel engines. The diesel engines that are equipped and retrofitted can then run on the new fuel, DME, which will burn cleaner, lower NOx emissions, eliminate smoke emissions such as soot particulates and eliminate exhaust odor.
DME is considered by many to be the ultimate bio-fuel because of the attributes we have already discussed. It is cheaper, better for the environment and can be derived from numerous natural resources including methanol, coal, natural gas and biomass. Another factor making DME a great bio-fuel is the fact that DME can be administered and sold through existing propane infrastructure. This provides DME a great advantage over other alternative fuels. DME can also be used in most diesel engines with little or no modifications to the vehicle.
There has been a lot of research regarding alternative fuel, but most of the research has been geared and directed toward fuel for engines other than diesel engines. The DME fuel systems being created by Alternative Fuel Technology, LLC are a giant step in the right direction. With so many diesel engines on the road – from cars to trucks to 18-wheelers – the DME fuel systems can not only help the environment, but also help drivers of diesel run vehicles at the same time.
