running on diesel and lpg
(OP)
am running a diesel engine on diesel fuel injected in the normalmanner , and injesting lpg at the same time.
all seems to be well except i need to know ideal volume of gas to injest . i know the combustion requirements running on diesel only , need to know if the aprox 50% excess air volume can be used to burn the lpg at lambda 1 ie afr of 15.5 : 1 from this i can work out the volume of gas to injest . any ideas would be wecome
thanks and regards

Usually the incoming air is used to wash out burned gases. If this incoming air is pre-mixed with fuel it will, once again, increase HC. You are getting fewer particles but much more HC.
The substitution limit is about 15% Diesel replacement.
The only way to avoid these problems would be using a dual injector, with injection spitted in several steps.
Did you ever read HC emissions of your car?
