Abstract
Methods are provided for reducing transient fuel issues in a multi-fuel engine system. When transitioning from co-fueling with a first fuel split ratio to co-fueling with an alternate fuel split ratio, the change in fuel split ratio is gradually ramped in over multiple engine cycles. This reduces combustion stability issues and the disturbance potential of a wholesale fuel change.
