APG’s dual fuel system displaces 40%-70% of the normal diesel fuel consumption with CNG, LNG, or bio-methane. APG’s system is non-invasive to the OEM engine and operates within all OEM performance controls with the flexibility to return to 100% diesel operation at any time.

The dual fuel conversion and emissions reduction systems lower carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate matter emissions. In addition, the introduction of natural gas through APG’s dual fuel system does not impact diesel engine power or pulling torque and will assist in extending the engine’s oil life as natural gas is a cleaner burning fuel compared to diesel.

APG recently received a Vehicular Memorandum of Exemption from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allowing public highway access for the testing and verification of APG’s non-invasive dual fuel upgrade system on aftermarket diesel truck and tractor engines.

The test exemptions will allow APG to gather engine performance and emission data on a pre-dual fuel and post-dual fuel basis to support EPA approval requirements and commence commercialization of their non-invasive dual fuel upgrade system in the United States. The initial vehicle to be tested for Waste Connections of Colorado, Inc. will be a 2007 11.5L / 405 hp Mack refuse truck operating in the Denver metropolitan area.
