If natural gas is introduced into the intake of a diesel engine, it will not be able to ignite and burn properly. This is because diesel engines rely on the compression of air and fuel to create enough heat to ignite the fuel. Natural gas does not compress as well as diesel fuel, so it will not reach the necessary temperature to ignite.
In addition, natural gas is a much leaner fuel than diesel fuel, meaning that it contains less energy per unit volume. This means that a diesel engine would need to use a much larger amount of natural gas to produce the same amount of power as diesel fuel.
Finally, natural gas can damage the components of a diesel engine. The high temperatures and pressures inside a diesel engine can cause the natural gas to break down and form carbon deposits. These carbon deposits can build up on the pistons, valves, and injectors, and they can eventually cause the engine to fail.
For all of these reasons, it is not recommended to use natural gas in a diesel engine.
