The accompanying picture shows a typical set of components and a schematic drawing of a typical dual fuel kit design. The modules include:

Diesel module – reduces and controls the diesel flow to the engine during dual fuel operation and a rack stop switch that allow correct initialisation of the system at start up and system checking during shut down.
Gas module – takes the high pressure gas from the storage cylinders and delivers it at a constant pressure to the gas valve and then injects the gas into the inlet manifold of the engine. The storage cylinder pressure is monitored and a solenoid valve is fitted for safety.
Throttle module – maintains the inlet manifold air pressure at a specified levels.
Sensor module – indicates the drivers demand, engine speed, coolant temperature and inlet manifold air temperature and pressure.
Driver interface module – to communicate with the driver including a switch to show either gas storage pressure or gas use percentage on dual fuel, a switch to change from diesel to gas operation, LED lights to indicate faults and gas use and RS232 computer communication port.
Controller module – includes the Controller module and wiring loom.
Storage module – includes fill valve and storage cylinders and pipe work is installed on the vehicle but not normally the responsibility of DieselGas.
