Abstract
A fuel injection method for diesel internal combustion engines uses main injection of a gas main fuel and pilot injection of a liquid secondary fuel to initialize combustion of the main fuel. The liquid fuel is injected by an injector pump designed to enable the engine to achieve its maximum power with the liquid fuel only. The pilot injection comprises a mixture of water and liquid fuel.
