They are propane or CNG engines. But, take off the propane stuff and hang on some gasoline FI and they will burn gas. Propane and CNG engines are the same as gasoline engines except for the induction system.
The same injectors and pump settings are used for conventional or biodiesel. No one changes this.
Most truckers have less knowledge of diesel fuel control systems than they do of gynecology. "Buttons" are Cummins parlance for a sized part controlling fuel delivery in the PT fuel system, which along with Detroit racks is a thing of interest only to antique collectors and a few off-road operators today.
Sure - in the 20th century.
Bdon't believe so - what maintenance were you thinking of specifically ?
It's basic, but the numbers are not quite right. Alcohol requires between 2 and 2.2 times the fuel as gasoline, and when enlarging the jets and other fuel orifices, you need to double the area, not the diameter or you will have an engine that runs extremely rich.
Now you're comparing apples to oranges. A supercharged gasoline engine converted to alcohol will still require 2 to 2.2 times the fuel as it did when running on gasoline. If you take a normally aspirated gasoline engine, convert it to alcohol AND supercharge it, then maybe it will require 4 times the fuel. You take any engine properly tuned for gasoline and double the diameter of the fuel metering orifices, and you will have an engine that runs VERY rich, if at all.
