Cummins chooses Hythane OptiBlend system for retrofitting dual-fueled power on drilling rigs

Green Car Congress

The Optiblend kit displaces diesel with natural gas (up to 70%) or other alternative fuels, without modifications to the internal components or the stock fuel management system. When required, the system allows the engine to run on 100% diesel. These blends were patented in 1990 for spark- and compression-ignition engines.
