6.2.1 Gas mode operation
In gas operating mode the main fuel is natural gas which is injected into the engine at a low
pressure. The gas is ignited by injecting a small amount of pilot diesel fuel (MDF). Gas and
pilot fuel injection are solenoid operated and electronically controlled common rail systems.
6.2.2 Diesel mode operation
In diesel operating mode the engine operates only on liquid fuel oil. MDF or HFO is used as
fuel with a common rail system / Electronic fuel injection rate optimized nozzle system. Pilot
fuel injection is active in order to avoid clogging of pilot nozzle.
