Abstract:
1. A fuel control system for controlling delivery of a primary and an alternate fuel to an internal combustion engine of a vehicle via dedicated flow cells to prevent cross-contamination of primary and alternate fuel sources before blending, comprising: a primary fuel flow controller that controls delivery of the primary fuel from a primary fuel source to a primary fuel flow path; an alternate fuel flow controller that controls delivery of the alternate fuel from an alternate fuel source to an alternate fuel flow path; an electronic controller coupled to the primary fuel flow controller and the alternate fuel flow controller, wherein the electronic controller is adapted to control the primary fuel flow controller to control delivery of the primary fuel in the primary fuel flow path to a primary fuel flow cell and control the alternate fuel flow controller to control delivery of the alternate fuel in the alternate fuel flow path to an alternate fuel flow cell; wherein the primary fuel flow cell comprises: wherein the alternate fuel flow cell comprises: wherein the primary fuel from the primary fuel flow cell and the alternate fuel from the alternate fuel flow cell are mixed at the engine.
