Natural Gas And Ethanol Bosch Injection Systems For Alternative Fuels
Bosch has engine management systems and injection components that are tailor-made for the use of alternative fuels. These allow spark-ignition engines to run on natural gas or mixtures of ethanol and gasoline. Such fuels allow a significant reduction in carbon-dioxide emissions. In addition, using them helps to conserve the earth’s petroleum reserves.
